I've been building this old 80's style rack. Last night I plugged everything in for the first time. I got the ada locally, and it looks very well used. Anyway, I'm getting kind of a buzzy/hum from it. I've narrowed it down through process of elimination that it is defnitely the one creating the noise. The noise is there on any patch... clean or distorted. It doesn't seem to change tonal characterstics when things are changed or adjusted on the preamp. I have it going through a noise gate. But at full tilt, it is barely making a dent on the noise.
I knew these things were notoriously noisy. But I thought that was in relation to the gain settings. Are they usually noisy as hell from the get go like this? Or is some repair needed? PS The guy that sold it to me said it has new tubes in it. But I have no idea if it's true or not.
