amp noise

[koko276]

I recently purchased a Peavey Windsor amp and when I am using relatively heavy preamp I get a lot of "niose" how can I stop this? It is not completely quiet with low preamp either.

koko276 - welcome to the forums here at GN2! ;D

You won't like the short answer: the (rather rare) user reviews that I was able to find about your amp suggest that it is a noisy amp.

Someone else may come along with a suggestion on how to stop the noise - you're certainly in the right place! - so hang tight in the meantime.

I'll have some stuff to say about this, in about 5 days.

I just started getting really bad noise outta my tube amp =/ I considered my options, and wound up taking it to a shop. But I'll make sure to talk to the guy that worked on it and pick his brain =)

I'm probably going to spend $100 for a new tube and maybe fix a solder joint. I just don't have the time to dive into something as finals week rapidly approaches.
