Amp: Peavey Studio Pro 40
speaker: 12 inch - Studio Pro Speaker
Problem makes this sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX7Ar3Z-oTo
Problem: When ever i try to get the amp to give more volume, Useally past 6 on a scale of 1-10, It produces that high pitch sound familiar to the youtube link i posted above. Also I can get it higher but i have to Lower the Saturation effect, or lower the gain... Then the volume knob can go up ( But in reality it is louder on a lower volume setting with the gain and saturation up )
Known Problems:
- The power chord that plugs into the wall from the amp is a replacement which does not have a ground on it. its just a 2 prong plug in, but the original power chord had a ground ( 3 prong ) power chord. Im not sure if this would cause the problem because the amp is still getting all the power it needs. The Ground is just a safety measure correct?
- Also My amp has 2 wires that go to the 12 inch speaker from the top part ( Amp ) . And the
Amp has 2 metal clips coming down. One of the wires goes straight up to the inside of the amp. But the other wire is wrapped around the other metal clip coming down from the top amp. ( im guessing these 2 wires are the positive and negative that sends the electrical signal to the 12 inch speaker ). So i know a signal is getting through or else the amp would not play anything out of the speaker.
Please this is very important to me, Guitar is my life and the only thing that keeps me sane. Please help me out so i can fix this amp. Hope this explanation is better
