I’ve got a dirty Shirley mini that’s been modded to the pink taco voicing. But when I turn the treble and middle controls to zero, it sounds dark as expected but then has this sort of fizz on top of the notes. It doesn’t happen when I’m using a cleaner sound. Even when I turn the middle and treble up, I can still slightly hear it until the fizz gets drowned out when those controls are turned high enough.
My guess right now are a bad cap somewhere in the tone stack but I don’t want to go changing things for fun if that’s unlikely. I tried with a full different tube set and speaker cab, and guitar as well.
Anyone run into something similar before? Or can anyone try those settings on any typical Marshall design for me and see if you get the same symptoms maybe it’s normal and I’m just not used to Marshall tone stack quirks? I’ve posted a link to a YouTube video where you can hear what I mean. Any jcm800 type amp owners please let me know if this is normal.
Thanks
