kevin Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 okay i have 2 problems/ questions.. First my guitar amp, on the clean channel, when i hit a lower frequency note, it makes a really ugly buzzing sound? could this be that the speaker is broken? ive noticed it only happens when my amp is on for too long, maybe its the tubes? by the way my amp is a fender hot rod deluxe, so if you can help in anyway on that problem i appreciate it...and secondly, im looking into buying a good distortion pedal soon, and would like to take suggestions from anyone.. ive been using my amps distortion, but im lookng for more.. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_vonen Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 (edited) I dont know about the amp thing but I just bougth a marshall jackhammer and I'm really pleased with it, its very versatile and has a good sound through a decent amp.

kosak Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 It could have something to do with your guitar, maybe fretbuzz. If thats the problem, take your guitar to a guitar technician and have it set up.....if the amp is the problem, it might have something to do with your tubes. When was the last time you changed your tubes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 (edited) its not my guitar. I dont know if it is the tubes, it might be.. but i asked a guy at a music store today, and he said it might be my speaker, but he didnt know. The tubes are original since i bought it. How often should i have them replaced? Edited May 17, 2005 by kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosak Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 It depends on how much you use the amp, but every year or two should do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 i dont remember when ibought it lol. Definently more then one or 2 years, so i think ill change the tubes. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slashs_servant Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Change the tubes !@!@ No way, thats much to expensive. Does this only happen when you put it loud ? If so than i think you should put the low end down on the eq... Otherwise take into the music store if none of us can help you : P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 lol, it doesnt happen frequently.. usually only after i've played with my amps distortion. And i just bought a boss overdrive/distortion pedal, so ill see if when i use that, the same thing happens.And if i turn down the low eq, it sounds super ugly, so thats not an option for me :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
