Loud buzzing noise when I turn amp on -won't go away

All of a sudden, when I turn the amp on I get a loud buzzing... even with the volume on zero. I've checked all chords, etc... It's a Fender reissue Twin reverb

  • Anonymous Feb 28, 2010

    Actually, nothing has to be plugged into the amp. After several seconds; this LOUD noise starts. I noticed yesterday it was popping when I shut off the amp and unplugged the guitar.

Check the capacitors in the power supply and the matching on the output tubes.they probably need bias adjustments

Have you tested the amp with another guitar? A grounding problem in the guitar can lead to these sorts of noises.

Sony stacking system LBTd505, the sound from the record deck suddenly went very faint. The cd and radio sections are fine. I have tried a new stylus, but no difference. Any ideas?

You have two options. First a faulty cartridge. Or a faulty pre-amp in the main amp.
You can find out if the cartridge (and amp) are playing up. By removing the connectors on the cartridge.
Then with the volume turned up to about half, with your finger, touch each one of the wires one at a time. It will not harm you at all. But you should hear a loud buzz on one wire on the right and a loud buzz on the left on another wire.
The two other wires will either produce a crackle, or a tiny buzz, or nothing at all.
If you do hear a loud buzz on two wires. The cartridge is faulty and needs replacing.
If you hear a slight buzz on them or weak sound. There is either a bad connection between the deck and amp. Or the pre-amp inside the deck which is only used by the record deck so will not effect any other function, is faulty.
You can remove the record deck connections to the amp and again with the amp on half full, touch the inputs with your finger. If you are not hearing a loud hum or buzz, the pre-amp is faulty. If you do the connectors are faulty.

When I plug it up it makes a loud buzzing humming sound that's unconteollable with the volume.

Buzzing is usally AC line noise leaking into an un-shielded cable somewhere or a floating ground. If the AC plug is reversable, try that. make sure all audio cables are pluh\gged in tightly at each end and routed away from or at right angles to any power cords and away from other sources of strong magnetic fields like TV's. I've also seen variable track lights induce noise but it's usually minor.

If it still does it with no cables attached it's an internal amp problem.

Loud buzzing noise on vizio tv

It sound like you may have sound processor problem which is part of the main board, I would also look at the 12vdc from power supply to make sure it is clean DC.

My Air Conditioner makes a loud buzzing noise now. It didn't do that before, now it makes so much noise I can't hear anything over it

Buzzing noise - contactor. maybe a bug got in the contacts or maybe the coil is bad but in any case if you replace the contactor the buzz will go away.

Loud buzzing at the first volume setting

Check all your wires and make sure that none of the wires that are powering any equipment (including extension cords, power bars, and power cables on the unit itself) are running parallel to any of the audio cables going to your speakers or from your inputs to your unit. This could be what's called AC hum, which is caused when the electrical current causes interference that gets picked up by the audio cables and amplified by your system. Just make sure you move the power cords as far away as possible from the audio cables.

Plazma TV buzzing noise

I have the same problem I can hear buzzing over the volume of the tv into the 30 range. I've had a tech out 3 times and he's coming out for a fourth. He's changed to power supplies and is bringing the 3rd next visit. From what I've read it has either to do with power supplies or grounding strips.

Buzzing after 1 hour

Is the buzzing coming from the back of the TV, staying loud even when the volume is turned all the way down, or is it coming from the speakers?
