  • Fender Dyna Touch III Stage 1000 Amplifier

    I am a long time classical guitar player, but have always wanted to try an electric guitar.

    First, I bought a new Fender Hot Rodded American Double Fat Strat (white blonde over swamp ash) with a Seymour Duncan '59 Humbucker in the neck position and a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates in the bridge position.

    Now, I've just purchased this Fender Stage 1000 solid state amplifier at Guitar Center (ugh) for a great price...only $200.00 new because nobody wanted it...evidently, everyone wants tubes. I was seduced by the low price and all the following specs:
    • Handcrafted Fender DSP effects
    • FX Select, FX Level, Time/Rate knobs
    • Seven timbre filters
    • 100 watts as is, 160 watts with 8 Ohm extension speaker
    • One Celestion G12T-100 speaker
    • Digital chromatic tuner

    Anyway, to my uneducated ear, my guitar sounds very good through this amplifier except for a high level of hum no matter what channel or what adjustments I make. This is something I never expected from a solid state amplifier.

    Guitar Center says this is normal, but I find it disturbing.

    Would you consider this normal from a new Fender solid state amplifier or should I contact Fender to get it fixed under the five year warranty?

    Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    Regards,
    John Golden
