Hello All,

JUst discovered this forum and am hoping that someone here can help me with my amp issues.

I have a Raven RG60 solid state amp that has radio signal coming out of it with the cord plugged into it.  It also seems to hum louder then it should when nothing is plugged into it.

I am wondering if anyone here can guide me on a solution to these issues?

Thanks!

Sounds like you have lost a ground connection some where.
Start at the obvious.. try another guitar cord first before you start pulling things apart. 8|

The input sockets are often soldered direct to PCB and over time the solder joins can crack causing all sorts of unwanted noise. Try wiggling the jack right at the input.
