Electricity in string

[mcnach]

The e and f type is only use in places that have industrial tools .
Home has type c ,when a new house build latley they add type f .
But usually most area have type c .type c is Is not grounded .
Yes it's 50hz

The picture on the left, is that at your place? Those are just like most European plugs these days, and the ground is the two tabs above and below in the picture.

Guys, @wishforbass is curious as to why, house (lack of) grounding being equal, he doesn't get buzzed with his other amps but he does with the new one, and asked if there is possibly anything wrong with the Rumble in addition to the main problem with the grounding.
Now, since electricity is more or less black magic to me, does anyone have a tentative answer?

No ,it has place of havd grounding but the grounding system is not build at all so it's a type f style but actually c . because there is no grounding .
It's mors tricky .

That sucks.

See above.

Without a ground-PE connection the amp-ground can operate at any voltage relative to earth potential. The other amp's ground simply seems to be close to earth potential.

Also no clue if the supply itself is grounded. An isolated terra net would explain alot, but then you'd need a isolated floor.

Get an iRig and some earphones, for the love of God!

It is IMPOSSIBLE for guys on Talkbass to tell if there is an electrical fault. He needs to seek the advice of an electrical professional ***in his country***. We are all thousands of miles away and we cannot diagnose electrical issues like that!

He first needs to be sure that the electrical outlet sockets are safe and correct.

Then he needs to ascertain whether or not his amplifier can be used with his electrical supply.

The point is that the internal circuits of all amplifiers are different and they will all be different again depending on their intended mains use (including whether or not they should be earthed).

He ***must*** seek advice in his own country.

Best.

Earth (Ground) is there to take away current in the event of a fault, it serves no other purpose. Adding a DIY earth (ground) will not remedy the fault, in fact an earth (ground) that is doing it's job under fault condition will operate the fuse/breaker and disconnect the supply.

As I have said and others have said, get the amp checked first for electrical safety.
