    Intermittent hum with new HDRX 20.

    100% have been considering buying a second hahaha so very funny post! I legit don't want to spend a second without this amp. I can't say enough good things about this amazing amp! Just order another Scumback H55-PVC and Eminence Wizard to fill out my 4x12 for this baby.

    HDRX-20 Could use some BIAS advice and thoughts on this.

    Heads up for others, If you look below the bias points it says the recommended bias right on the amp... Could be easy to miss. Enjoy ✌

    Intermittent hum with new HDRX 20.

    Thanks for the replies! I wanted to give a little update, unfortunately the hum has returned intermittently. I have isolated it to something internal in the amp. I've swapped tubes, checked bias, worked toggles back and fourth etc. It maybe in the circuit or a bad cap? It is affected by...

I've got the box and paperwork in the garage but have come down with a pretty bad flu (my excuse for a lazy question) I'm just curious because after working the MHG switch and the Bright switch repeatedly it seems to be gone (knock on...

    Intermittent hum with new HDRX 20.

    Thanks for the reply, I think you're right as I just isolated it to the Mid High Gain switch. It has been acting up about every other power up and I can make it go away by flipping the MHG switch 2 or 3 times and also power it off and on 2 or 3 times. Bummer as I love this amp so much but got a...

    Intermittent hum with new HDRX 20.

    I'm just curious if anyone else has run into this issue with their HDRX 20? I've been madly in love with amp so imagine my horror when I turned it on and got a loud 60hz hum coming from the speaker. The input doesn't affect it (still there with or without guitar plugged in) and non of the...
