I just bought a brand new Mustang GT40 amp and when I turn it on, I get a very annoying sound (I've recorded it: https://vocaroo.com/i/s0hHsfGZTwUp). Plugging or unplugging my guitar, changing the power cord or plug doesn't change anything, it's still there.

There's at least two other threads on the same problem:
- https://forums.fender.com/viewtopic.php ... 1&start=15
- https://forums.fender.com/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=108874

But the authors of the threads didn't give any news on what they did and if their problem was solved, so I decided to open a new thread and post the sound itself.

I've already force-updated the firmware, the sound is still there.

Should I return the amp? I certainly hope I can get another one without that problem, because I'm loving that amp!

That's weird, sounds like someone screaming off in the distance. Whatever you do, don't call it "Fizz" or all hell's gonna break loose.
