Thanks guys
I will have a think what to do with this amp. I have learnt an enormous amount from working on it, but perhaps it's just a noisy amp. I have other SS amps around, and I'm telling you this one has an annoying hiss. It has been a 'project' - with the fantastic help of you guys - to see if we could quieten this amp. I guess if I got it to a technician maybe the source of the hiss could be found, maybe he'd just say it's a hissy amp.
Criticisms of my recording - unfortunately I could only use my phone, so that's not a great start. Yes I put the phone near the amp, but there's already noise and hiss from the phone, so there was no point in having the phone at a distance where you couldn't separate it's own hiss from the hiss of the amp. Believe me from one metre the hiss on this amp is noticeable.
I will put the amp back together, and play it a few more times, and think about what to do.
For the time being perhaps we should close this case - and to quote Spinal Tap - 'best left unsolved'.
I plan to return to this forum soon with my next project - pimping up a Roland Micro Cube.
Thanks
Jim
