Hi All, New RX 1x12 owner here. I just got the amp home and starting to play with it. Is the hiss normal for these amps? My last amp was a VOX VT50 and I had to look at it to see if I left it on. This is my first all tube amp.

How loud are you playing it? Wide open you'll hear some tube noise, but you shouldn't hear it playing at room level. You might have a noisy tube though...

This is a brand new amp and I only have it at between 1 and 2. So it should go back then?

Before doing that, I'd call the Doc at the shop.

I have emailed them and will call. The other thing I have notice is when I plug my Digitech RP250 into it, it gets worst. The effect all have a hiss as the note fades out. My fault for not trying at the store first but they only had the one in. I'm not worry to much about it as it comes with a 30day satisfaction guarantee, and right now I'm not satisfied at all. If I was it mike this amp at a gig this hiss would ruin the sound for sure. I sure it is just a bad tube on the preamp side as it gets loader with more volume and it is still there with no volume. Are these amps quiet when on?

Mine is quiet. Well I gig with it mic'd anyway, and if it was making any extra noise I'm sure the sound guy would have been all over me. I've never noticed anything, but the sound guy sure would have.

I had a low frequency hum in mine that was fixed by replacing the EF86

Talk Brent at Dr Z and it was the preamp tubes which the store replaced for me...all is good now.

Try that with Fender or Marshall...you probably get a call center in India.
