Fender Princeton 65 - Reverb/Drive hum
I just picked up a used Fender Princeton 65, the SS model. Pretty nice tone but I didn't notice it when the guy was showing it to me, but when I turn up the reverb past 1 or use the "overdrive" channel with the drive set over 1 I get a very noticeable hum that is quite loud depending on the volume. Is this normal? It's pretty loud, but not harsh.
Also this seems to be another fender amp that gets extremely loud very quickly - IE turning up the volume past 2 (not 2 o'clock lol!) the amp is very loud. I'm also wondering if the fact that I have the open back set pretty close to the wall as I don't like my cats crawling around in there - I figure the sound isn't being allowed to go out the back as designed and is being pushed out the front making it seem louder..??
