Hello Skip,

Thanks for your help in advance!

Is the slight hum I hear out of my Kzoo Rev 12 a characteristic of the amp or not ? Is it an expensive fix?

I am looking to sell it.

Thanks

Hello Hank- A slight hum might be perfectly normal. Compared to new amps, some older circuits can be a little noisy, especially when it comes to "hum" at idle. I often hear from people who aren't in a band situation worrying about a little noise that would NOT be a problem if they were jamming with a couple of friends. Alone in quiet room, there will often be some noise. Of course, I can't be sure that an amp is running perfectly without actually seeing it. You should check the RCA connectors on the reverb tank to make sure they are clean and tight.
