Location: Boise, Idaho		Not very cold here, yet Art. Probably about the same as in Portland except dry. That's one of the problems with trying acoustic amps or guitars at the Guitar Center here. They have about 4 humidifiers running all the time in the acoustic room. I couldn't hear the hiss in my Crate when I tried it.

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		No, I get into this being old thing. (It beats the alternative)
I love telling the Kids that I was traveling the country when their Mom was trying Not to get pregnant.

I tried to add this, but after I took 20 minutes to type it with one finger it told me my time had elapsed!

And Solid Top...
The 'Amp/Speaker' part of the G-DEC isn't that great. The speaker is kinda weak. You have to go into the menu and go through a bunch of ka-ka just to change some sound settings. And the only Backing Track I ever used was "Chicago Blues" to play riffs over, but that gets old. It did have a Lynyrd Skynyrd drum-beat/bass-line for "Gimme Three Steps" (without the turn-around), but otherwise there was not any Folk-Rock beat for doing any Neil Young, Tom Petty, or John Cougar Melonhead. I does have one for Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison (without the turn-around). So I sold it to a kid who is quite happy, although I lost $30... Oh Well.

Mark...
I found the 'hum'... It ain't really the amp. It was because I had an 'Open' cable plugged-in. It don't hum with no cable. If you plug an empty cable in there it Will Hum. But when you plug the other end into the guitar, No Hum. Aren't you glad I explained that? (Ho-Hum)

I am still kinda new at this. I am just now learning stuff that those Young'uns, and you Oldsters, leart when you first started playing at about 12!

Location: Calgary,Alberta		When I first turn it on the is a minor hum, that turns into a hiss when I get up to "10"...
Is this a defect?
You cannot hear it when I am playing, and you cannot hear it when nothing is plugged-in.
Or is it just my 20 foot cable with the 1/4"
jacks
Hello Old Man Arthur, I have the same amp and was getting a hum/hiss as well, then I check my wall plugs and had found out that I had an open ground, fixed it and no more hum on all my amps as well. Also a dimmer swicth can also induce a lot of hum/hiss. You can buy a circuit tester at any hardware store for under ten $. Hope this helps...Les

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR		Thank You, Les... I found that most of the problem was just my own stupidity about an open cable.

BUT! I have Tons of sources for possible interference in my Room.
I live in a Studio Apartment which is a fancy way of saying "One Room and a Bathroom".
I've got refrigerator, microwave, computer, TV, stereo, VCR, DVD, cable box, three clock radios, printer, scanner, WiMax modem, cordless phone, and three fans. [Luckily my electricity is include in my Rent]

Do you think any of these could be causing interference? :eek: :D :p

Location: Hot Springs, S.D.		Yeah, we got about three or four inches last night too. When I went out to scrape my car, I must confess, I discovered some new cuss words!

Both of my Crate acoustic amps will hiss a little bit when the volume is way up, but like you, I can't hear it when I'm playing, and I hardly ever turn the volume that high anyway. And they both give me the sound I want.
