I had my '63 Fender Tremolux overhauled a year ago and it's sounding better than
I've ever heard it sound since I bought it 20 years ago. However, it recently
started making a really loud buzzing noise that does not change when I flip the
ground switch. It's not my guitar, because this loud buzz is equally present
when there is nothing plugged into the amp.I had the original 2 prong power cord
removed and a new 3 prong installed. Is this a common problem with old Fender
amps? This buzz is too loud to use the amp at a gig! Any ideas?

Our lead guitarist just had the problem. Putting in a new rectifier
tube helped out a little but there still is some buzz. He has a '64
Tremolux that is Blonde/Gold Sparkle.

Hmnnn. Sounds like the same symptoms I had with a Fender Twin I used to own.
I ended up seeing the amp doctor and I think he changed a capacitor and a
pre-amp tube, the problem finally went bye-bye, well, at least until the amp got
ripped off. That's another story........

Hi!
I used to have a buzzing like yours on my peavey classic 50, but it
fortunately left me. In my amp, it was the buzzing of the
transformer, which used to "move" simultaneously to the 50 cycles
(germany :-)) of the input power. So it might be a mechanical
problem, that the tranformer´s screws aren´t as fastened as they are
supposed to or something.
sorry for my english in this message. I don´t know many technical
terms in english language.
Regards,
Theo
