Peavey Bandit 112 drive static

Post by VctrEco12 » Sun May 21, 2017 8:29 pm

Hello all - Quick question I about something I just started to notice with my Bandit. Whenever I use any sort of drive, whether it be a Blues Driver on the clean channel, or even the drive channel of the bandit, I get a fuzzy static noise hidden within the guitar sound. The amp itself doesn't make much noise while not playing which is awesome, but anytime I play a chord with some gain, I can hear a fizzy, staticy noise within the chord. Very similar sound to a dirty pot when you turn it. I do play relatively quietly (darn apartment). I've also tried different cables and guitars, and still the problem persists.

Anyone have any idea if maybe there's something inside I need to clean, or maybe is that just how the bandit reacts to playing quietly? Any input would be hugely appreciated, as I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to amps. Thanks!
