amp problem!

[mattk]

I have a Crate DX 212. I installed Celestions about 2 months ago and it sounded great. I noticed now that there's a slight buzzing. It only occurs when I play and lasts for a few seconds. If I play really lightly I can't hear it, but if I play slightly harder it starts. I've tried changing guitars and using headphones and it's still there.

Are my speakers loose? Or the worse question, is my amp dying? Any suggestions?

Re: amp problem!

If you can hear it in headphones, it's not the speakers.

Putting better speakers in something like a Crate might improve the sound but because the speakers are better, it'll bring out more of the amps inherent short comings.

Welcome to the chase...

Could it be a loose screw? Make sure everything is tight.
