Is there any way, short of sending this unit to the shop (it's a new amp), to reduce the hiss in my Supersonic 22? I have a BDRI, and it is dead quiet. Having said this, I used an MXR 10 band graphic equalizer (with separate gain and volume sliders) in the effects loop and by sliding the gain/volume pots down, this hiss is lowered dramatically. Of course, if I set everything to unity, the hiss is there with no changes/

I was contemplating using a 12AT7 in V1 would lower the gain and the hiss, but it seems that the above may indicate that it originates in the power section and not the pre-amp. I'm not so much concerned about it in the burn channel, but in the clean side, it is driving me nuts.

I haven't seen any talk of a tech bulletin that Fender may circulated about this problem, but I've demoed other units and the hiss seems to be present in all samples I've tried. Too bad, I love the sound of this amp.

If you search this section of the forum you'll find several threads devoted to this topic. IIRC, there were a coupla of SS22 owners who were successful in taming the amp's hiss and their remedies are posted for review.
