| Seem to have a hum on my Nashville 400. Gonna take it to my amp guy but thought I'd see if there's a quick fix first?? I get it whether anything is plugged in to it or not so it's not an instrument. Any ideas? |

What happens if you turn the reverb off?
It's probably filter caps or something else in the power supply if the reverb has no effect. Assuming it's 60 cycle hum, it's kinda easy for any half-decent tech.

Lane,
I'll check the Reverb. I am assuming since it is a solid state amp there shouldn't really be any noise at all should there? |

When in proper condition, neither a tube nor transistor amp should hum, hiss or crackle.
Fortunately, a constant hum is easy to find and fix.

The Molex connector that is used to connect the cables from the reverb pan to the amp chassis is a well documented problem are and can cause hum. Many times just "reseating" the plug (unplugging then plugging back in) can fix it.
However, even working perfectly there will be a small amount of hum. Every Peavey amp I've had, from the Session 500 to the Nashville 112 have some slight hum if the reverb is turned up. |
