Hi all, I've just bought a Session 400. It sounds loud and clear, but there's this fizzy distortion happening at the same time in the background.... any ideas as to what's going on? it sounds like you're running a clean amp, and a high gain amp (quietly) at the same time.....  :loco

Hi all.... I have a Fender Pro 185 amp, and it has two controls (presence and contour)  which only work on the O/D channel (how the amp was built)... I wish to modify it so that they work on the clean channel too... I know people have done things like this with tube amps , but is it possible on a SS amp ? I've been trying to hunt down a schematic for the amp... no such luck... I'll contact Fender and if they send me one I'll post it here.

Regards,
Aaron

Hello all, my Peavey Bandit is making some strange noises. It makes a slight crackle noise (similar to when a pot is scratchy) when I attack notes harder, but it fades away as the notes decay. It only does this sometimes though. The other day I was playing through it, and then it just started squealing really loudly. What do you reckon might be causing the problems ?

Cheers, Aaron

Hi people,

Call me crazy (I know that I am), but I am wanting to put a master volume control on the JC-120 as I actually like the sound of the preamp overdriving, as it sustains really well, and has this weird lo-fi Albert King like tone (especially with the chorus on), it's much nicer than the inbuilt distortion (which is pretty putrid). Firstly, is it possible at all? I understand that the fact the amp is stereo probably complicates matters, and also the fact that it's solid state probably also would too, and secondly, would it be an expensive job to do ?

Cheers, Aaron
