Does Your Acoustic B200 Buzz?

[Slackerprince]

I recently posted about a shipping disaster on receiving my Acoustic B200, and thought that the "buzz" that I was hearing might have been because of how it was tossed around, but I have read on a few other sites about other people hearing a 60 Hz buzz when their amp is on.
Does your amp buzz, and is that just part of the way it works?I tried it in different outlets and tried turning off the tweater. Nothing works and it's a loud, annoying buzz.
Interested to hear.
Thanks.

Mine also has that 60Hz hum, but I wouldn't call it loud.

a 60hz buzz is annoying.

It buzzes with nothing plugged into it?

If so, that's a bummer behavior that mine fortunately does not exhibit.

I'm not sure why anybody would put up with buzz, but if you don't like it take it in. I go back to GC with the amp, bass, and cable and duplicate it there. Either way, if you're not happy return it.

And don't by power conditioners - if the amp doesn't work plugged into the wall, it's not worth it.

It's on it's way back.

My Ibanez SW65 combo had a hum when I first got it. It turned out to be the power in my apartment. After moving back to the Big Island from Oahu, there was no more hum. Better shielding on the amp would have helped. But it's a cheap amp.
