So there's this noise, and it's comin from the top right of the amp
Tried different guitars, through my pedalboard, just the guitar
Noise is still there
I'm assuming since its coming from that one spot it's a busted speaker but was wondering if anyone else can lend a helpful ear to the situation :group:

I don't think I've ever heard anything like that.

Could it be a preamp tube?

Yeah the amp is probably due for some new tubes
I'll hopefully be able to take it to the shop tomorrow since I have a show on thursday

If you have any spare preamp tubes, you can swap each of them out in turn to see if that gets rid of the problem.

It would save you from having to bring the amp into the shop.
