Hi Mike , I have a problem with a loud hum in my new Nashville 112.If I turn the Reverb all the way down to one you can just about hear it. The higher you turn the Reverb up the louder it gets and it is driving me crazy.

Sam, just a thought, see if you have any electrical cords laying near the amp. My power strip with the wall warts was under the table on which the amp was placed and it was driving the reverb tank nuts (hummmmmm).

Else, maybe time to reseat the molex connectors.

Sam,

That's exactly what was wrong with mine and Mike helped me fix it over the phone. It's not what you'd think the problem is and is simple to fix.
The reverb pan is in backwards. Mike told me that a few went out like that. Just take the pan out, turn it around and hook it back up, put it back in the bag and screw it down. Mine's as quiet as a church mouse now.

Mike
