** Hi,

if you do guitar amp repairs for any time at all, you will likely come across someone like the guy in this Vid:

His Fender Pro 185 ( 150watt rated with 2 x 12inch speakers ) has a small amount of background hum, plus a slight hum in the reverb. But that is NOT how he sees it.

Repairers can be expected to fix faults that develop, but something that has been that way since manufacture is another story - often being near impossible or uneconomic to fix.

The two repairers mentioned wisely chose not to waste time trying.

Well, at least the youtuber didn't trash the two repairers who looked at it.

One should never believe a technician who has been doing repairs for decades, but if it's on the internet, it must be true. Therefore...

The commenters below the video probably convinced him that the noise he's complaining about is part and parcel for that type of amp.
