Rocker 15 Problem

Post by beppe » Thu Jul 06, 2017 5:39 pm

Hello to one and all. I took possession of a new Rocker 15 today and it is being returned tomorrow. It has the most awful (loud) hum even without anything plugged in and all controls on zero. I am reluctant to get another in case this a common problem. Any advice you can give will be more than appreciated. Thank you

That's normal!

It really shouldn't hum loads.
Take it back.

Hello all, Just to let you know I took possession of a new Rocker 15 yesterday. This one is superb. Extremely low noise floor and tones to die for. Very happy indeed!

NIce! More than likely just bad power tubes in the other one.
