definitely sounds like an earthing problem. in the UK we have 3 core electric mains leads which go to a 3 pin mains plug, so if your in the UK check your plug  for loose wires. in other countries you may need a grounding wire, but i don't know how they work. as i said before, don't stand too close to the amp and if your using a cheap guitar lead get a good one.

hi fire art, i'm sure your post makes perfect sense to you, but i get lost after; "amp buzzes at mid range volume..."
i dont get the; "the plug in guitar and lot louder when in plugged." sorry, can you clarify?

if you mean you get distortion then turn down the gain knob.

if you mean you get a hum when you switch on and it gets louder when you plug your guitar in, then you seem to have earthing problems. if so be very careful as you could electrocute yourself should you touch something wet, or a live microphone.

get the amp checked out by an electrician, or ensure if you need a grounding lead that it's plugged in...the results could be shocking or even fatal

it could also mean your standing too close to the amp. does the hum fade when you turn away?

i heard a kid say this one on tv this morning....

KID:  please sir, do farts have lumps?

TEACHER: no Johnny.

KID: oops, i think i just pood in my pants.

hi pete. you are right, there is a "reality programme" about the boss pretending to be one of the workers, trying to catch them out i expect so they can fire them. i have no idea what it's called. i cant be doing with all this "lets pretend we dont know there's a camera on us" BS.

as is stated in the article, macca suggested to jacko that he should invest this way, little realizing that jacko would stab him in the back by buying all his songs (+ all the other songs owned by ATV) which caused a big falling out and only the one joint recording. well, what would you do in the circumstances?

hey, not bad this being dead thing...is it? we are dead aren't we, after all the world did end yesterday...didn't it? funny that, things up here in heaven seem to be exactly as they were down there on earth....or did someone make a big fool of themselves then?

lesson being; dont make promises you cant keep

merry christmas russ, your splashing out well. i've just seen a recording set-up by boss with all the fx from the ME 50 and i think 24 tracks. it looks good and quite cheap at under £600, probably cheaper your side of the pond. i've dropped hints to the boss, but she's not picking-up at the moment, spending all my hard earned on grandkids....i've gone right off kids!

talk in the new year buddy?

i hate kids! i have 4 of my own and 11 grandchildren...and they all think they know more about music than me...flaberghasted!

i've only been playing guitar for 46 years. gigging for 42 years and an avid listener since i was 10! (51 years) i can listen to a song and dissect the chord structure, analyse the arrangement, critique the words and vocal etc. all they can do is say "yeah, but look how pretty they are and how good they can dance..."

i once met a teenager   who liked clapton though, so i guess their not all bad

hey zguitar, wasn't it the spanish that extinctified the mayans? then again, i suppose if they could see it coming they wouldn't have welcomed them, would they?

hi rakuraku,   have you got a volume control on your guitar? if so turn it down, you may also have tone controls? try playing with them till you get the sound you want. if you dont have either you could try buying a decent pick-up.
