Gary Glisson · From: munford, tn 38058

hi anyone that owns evans FET500 lv! i'am having a problem with hum. and i'am thinking its the wireing in my house but i'am running my master gain on (1) and my volume on (5),
with no hum but my volume is down .
when i turn my master gain up past (1) i get a hum and this is happing in both amps the hum stays the same as far as loudness go's whether its 1 1/2 or 10 on the master gain. when i turn the master gain up and volume control up i have plenty of power and its very loud.but with the pedal off it hums, i've tried the adapter three to two prong no effect,i've bypassed the volume pedal, no effect i'am plug into jack # 2 , which is the normal jack beacause i use the hilton super sustane.even taking the hilton sustane out ,hum still there when master gain is above 1 1/2
anyone had this problem from your evans any thoughts on what might cause this. i have a brand new goodrick 10k pedal,
any help would be appreciated

thanks gary

Gary - I have a mid-80's FET-500. It does pick up quite a bit of hum in my practice room. My Fender Steel King is much quieter in the same room. Did you say that you can still hear the hum with the volume pedal backed off to zero? Also, are you using just one amp or two amps. You said "this is happening in both amps".

I had a hum in one of mine the other night in the studio. I unplugged the guitar cord and the hum ceased. I got a good cord and all was well. Point being, 'chop the snake' and find if the problen is in an amplifier or the input signal. Either way, it is a relatively easy fix. I hope this helps ya! D
