Try to plug the guitar into return jack, or just try various pedal combinations. As Micke Suggested, it could be that the pedals are the issue, not the amp. Test various combinations and let us know how it went, so we can try to localize the issue. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

See on the back of the amp if you have the Ground/lift switch, try using it to see if hum stays. You should also try plugging only one by one effect pedal in the loop in order to localize the problem. Try using batteries to power the effects as power adapters are know to cause various humming and buzzing depending on the quality... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If you get the same hum, it's probably the pedals then. Let us know how it went.. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
