My 15Watt ZOOM SS Amp makes this god awful Buzzing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a90r9CmQ8Eg

no matter what i do it wont make ANY other noise. not louder not quieter. guitar input make no difference either.

any ideas?

TY guys

so let me lay down the backstory. its long but please read.

4 Years ago I bought a HUGHES & KETTNER WARP 7 (cab and head)

1 Year ago I began perform to crowds in pubs and larger venues. the WARP 7 was perfect.

6 months ago I began lending it to other performers (I was always there to make sure they weren't abusing my gear)
they'd play for an hour and then the fuse would blow. pop in a new fuse, then an hour or so later .... POP! another fuse.
I'd use it .... for HOURS, 5-6 at a time at 3/4 volume. no problem, fuses all fine. not hot. it was perfect.

last gig it goes after 20 mins. I haven't used it since.

thats the story.

Here is my theory;
-when ever I use my amp I don't use any pedal or stomp box. my setup is Guitar->Head Unit->Speaker Cab.
-everyone used their own effects pedal. usually a fancy multi effects pedal.

I think their pedals output too high a volume (too strong a signal), the amp doesn't like the powerful signal and blows the fuse. my unedited signal is a lower output and it doesn't stress the amp, no fuse damage.


Is this possible? is it bad luck? am I being possessed by demons and blowing my own fuses.

all Ideas are welcome or if you genuinely know what's happening I really want to know.

any comment welcome, I'll answer any questions as best I can, but I'm no Guitar engineer so please keep it simple.

ohh, and the names
Mike.
