Its like a crackle that goes into a constant buzz.

Its a solid state twin mate. Like a buzz don't know how to describe it I could record it for you when I get back from the birds.

Sometimes when I tap it, it cuts out for a little bit.

Seems I am the Fender Amp killer vintage Fender stage 160

It keeps buzzing when I play the top string (tried with different guitars) all the other strings are crystal clear.

No reverb on so defiantly not the reverb.

Everything seems to be connected properly speakers ect.

Thanks

The shop are going to pick it up and give it a look over on Monday.

So thank you very much!!!!

Bought it online??

Well, that's my knowledge depleted. If you bought it first hand I'd just return it. To be honest it's probably something minor and not a complete write off, and I've heard of no reliability issues with these amps.

Give this a read...

I bought it first ...

Every things connected so I have not a clue what's wrong with it!

Should have just saved up for a vintage Traynor YGM 3 like I was going to.

The tubes in super champs and vibro champs are woefully underbiased as stock. This was done on purpose by Fender to keep them cool, safe and have a longer shelf life. That'll be why they're glowing dim, not really representative of a problem.

Did you check your speaker cable? As in where it ...

make sure the speaker is definitely plugged in. it could still be a tube problem.

if it has an FX RETURN, plug someting in there and see if it produces sound. that will help determine if it's a power or pre amp problem.

There is only a place for line out and a footswitch tried both nothing at ...

Oh well thanks for your help anyway, I hope I can fix it without paying out for someone to fix it. I'm so skint!

It all powers up but there is no sound what so ever and the tubes are lit.

Have I broke the speaker?

Beginner with amps so not a clue what I've done.

Thanks

I am going to spend 300-350 pounds on a laptop and around 50 on a mic

Any suggestions I'm only using it for lo fi type of recordings and ideas.

Cheers

music radar recently had a feature on netbooks in that price range and what was good for what, might be worth taking a look at that. LANK ...

What's the difference between the two? Just tap tempo?

You also have more control over modulation, you can use an expression pedal for any knob, and you can put an effect in the loop

Can you not put an effect through the memoryboy in a loop??

Hundred bucks for a fab pedal? I don't care if someone's nodded it to be a klon, don't be a fool.
Do an echobase or maybe a memory boy:

I may get a memory boy I was toying with the idea before this obsession of having a big echo pedal with crazy thing's on it.
