Bad Humm in Delta Blues -- Peavey Question?

Tom Quinn · Posted 25 May 2006 8:11 pm

My Delta Blues has a horrible humm in the reverb if you turn it up past 4. It sounds like a tube issue. I'm running all Sovteks, the same as the originals.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Did this start suddenly or did this always happen? I can possibly help with one but not the other. I have a Classic 30 (very similar amp) that had a very similar problem.

If it is a tube issue you can thump the tubes with your finger and the offending tube will make noise while the others won't.
Also remove all effects and just plug strait in to the amp to test

If it has always been there, here's what I did. The reverb tank seems to feed back through contact with the bottom of the cabinet. I put a couple of pieces of foam rubber between the reverb tank and the bottom of the amp and that cured my problem. It was on a Classic 30, which is very similar but not identical. It probably uses the same reverb tank, though.
