Hey there fellers.
I have a strange conundrum with my Archon 50 head that just came in. It sounds great by the way, very "PRS".
Whenever it's on, no matter the channel lead/clean, or amp settings or even if anything is plugged into the front.. there is a low droning hum from my cabinet that is pretty annoying.
Ive tried it through multiple cabs to make sure it's not just the cab, then other amps through the original cab to be double sure and they were quiet. It's running into a power conditioner unit and the cable for the cabinet is double shielded high quality speaker wire. It's also likely not a ground loop because a quick test of defeating the ground at the plug changes nothing.
Again the noise is through the speakers, these new Archons don't have standby switches so if it's on its go time.
Does anyone have any insight? It's not like a loud brash hum it's just a really low frequency dull, bassy hum. Im not sure I'll be able to live with it long term if it's something you just have to accept.
