christmas present blues

[timrams88]

hey everyone..ive got a problem with my christmas gift and i didnt know if any of you could help me out


my dad got me a 7ender hot rod tube amp...and it looks sweet and all but when i plugged it in to start playing all i get is a loud hum...it sounds fine when i play with the volume below 2 but if i turn it up higher than that it hums very loud, and its quite anoying...so can anyone here give me any pointers on how to set this amp up right??

Congrates on the buy.

No offence bro, but this is the Ernie Ball forum not the fender forum.

I hope you find a solution to your problem though.

try a different outlet in your house try a different guitar cable, try a different guitar if you have one just to see if you can rule out all the potential problems.

make sure u are using a shielded instrument cable..& not a speaker cable.
what kind of guitar u using ? what pickups are selected????
where are your tone & gain settings ?
what channel u using ????

Relax bro, l just thought the Fenders guys might know more about their product than the techies here, but there are alot of people here that are more than qualified to help you.

Good luck bro,
