When I had my fender twin I could have it turned up 100% with next to no hiss.
Now my monza on the other hand will hiss like mad if I turn it up all the way.
Is this normal?
is it because the monza is a high gain amp?

I never played through one but I believe You're right...high gain = hiss

Hmmmm, I'll have to try it out and let you know. I don't recall having any hiss sounds more to come, I'll check afterwork today and repost Todd

Mine hisses too - but I've never tried swapping the tubes. I always figured it was due to the amount of gain dialed in. NOW, I'll have to do some checking it out. Thanks for the heads up!

The hiss just seems a little loud. Any one else get this?

Fwiw, mine hiss's also, I just figured it was the nature of the beast. I pretty much run it at Tod's settings, 11/11/1. Will crank up the volume tonight on it.

I've never in my life had the need to play that loud...and i've did a lot of outside shows as well...why don't you just send a bit of your guitar back in your monitor when playing live....I think anytube amp would hiss maxed out on volume or master....the only amp i've ever maxed out (besides using my attunator) was a 5 watt marshall class 5....lol cheers!

^^^^ I didn't hear anything unusual in mine. When I turn mine all the way up I get this really cool fuzz box sound, see my video from another thread in this section. I have that amp turned up all the wall but I am shutting it down with the master volume. It could also be that you are hearing frequencies (aka hiss) that your Fender cannot produce so my 2 cents Todd
