Dress your entire room in tinfoil...
 If it's not the pickups it's the socket that's dirty. As far as I know there's not a lot to do about that  But I hope someone can tip you on a device that will kill the buzz.An electrician would say it's a phase problem and you should just turn the plug 180 degrees and plug it in. You can always try that (if the plug has two pins) but I doubt it... -------------------- My bands homepage

Maybe when you moved to the new apartment a tube got knocked around in your Laney amp? Check the tubes...

Possibly the tube got twisted during transportation then mate. I'm glad you resolved the issue.
 PS if you have any more issues about this, I would advise to check the electrical wiring in the place, and possibly get a power conditioner for the amp, like Furman. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Just out of curiousity, do you have a laptop computer and a/c power supply nearby? This will definitely cause that problem.

I'd bet its a grounding issue with the apartment.
At most hardware stores you can get an outlet tester. They run about $4 (us) Get one and test your outlets. Ten bucks says the outlet isnt grounded properly.

QUOTE (Alex87 @ Feb 5 2009, 02:15 PM) Thanks Ivan. I will try this because the problem was not really fixed I guess it was just a coincidence it worked one time only, after adjusting the tube. The issue got back today. What you could do, probably won't solve the problem but I get a tiny tiny hunch since it worked last time to were messing with the tubes. For the pins to have good contact, and your LT5 has EL84 with kind of think legs that are not firm as the ones on EL34 and 6L6GC which could mean the pins contact area is limited. I spray electric spray and jack the tube in and out a couple of times. That cleans the socket the tube sits in and contact improves. I do this everytime I change tubes, too keep things clean. I'm not convinced it will help your case but maybe worth a try atleast

That happnned to me with my old laptop. I thought it was something wrong either with my amp or guitar, but it was the laptop's power supply. Try plugging your amp in different rooms, just to check it in different places, see if it makes that same noise everywhere. If it doesn't it's not the amp. -------------------- Guitars:

Be SURE to leave the amp for some time to clear from charge, and when it's off the socket turned it on and keep it on amplify it a bit so that the charge goes to the speaker! -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
