    MT15 gain and Hum / Buzz on lead - what is normal expected operation ?

    my local guitar shop in Raleigh (Harry's) has a guy who is pretty experienced with these amps (not a tech just an experienced player who has used them) he offered to test it out and at least see if it's normal. I bought new cables and put a small patch cable in the FX loop and that made the...
