Bassman64 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I've just got an Ashdown Evo ii 500w head but the transformer seems to be fairly noisy. In a quiet room you can hear it twenty feet away, is this usual?[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I thought it may be the fans at first, but having taken the top off it's definitely the transformer.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Thanks in advance for your help![/font][/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machinehead Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 It's called "50Hz hum" and can be caused by slightly vibrating laminated core plates or the mounting being loose. As above, try tightening the holding down screws first. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Certainly not normal, I have two of them and neither does that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I thought that this was going to be a thread about a new Ashdown product that changed into something else Like an amp that turned into a sheep or a mammoth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
