Really knows where his towel is.
Hi all,
I've recently noticed that my Archon 50 (SN 140556) has a pronounced high frequency noise or hiss. It's present on both channels, although it's far more noticable on the lead channel. Having a noise gate in front of the amp doesn't seem to help. It also seems to be invariant of whether the loop is engaged or not. I took the following FFT with an app on my phone last night with the clean channel dimed, all pedals off, and the volume of my guitar turned all the way down:
In particular, notice the spikes around 10kHz, 12kHz, and 20kHz.
(BTW, the signal chain for this is guitar -> Korg Pitch Black Tuner -> Mooer Rumble Drive -> Joyo American Dream -> Archon 50 -> PRS SE 2x12 cab on the clean channel with TC Mimiq, Corona, and Flashback pedals in the Archon's loop. All pedals were off and the loop disengaged.)
Is this the infamous Archon loop problem rearing its ugly head (mine is in about the right SN range...), a bad tube, or just bad building power?
