    Fiesta, that’s EXTREMELY useful information which all Tube EQ owners should have.

    Unfortunately for me, I sold mine about 6 months ago as I still found the hum to be intrusive and lost interest in the product. It was the only pedal I have purchased and I don’t know if I would try another one. In the meantime I have discovered products like Amplitube that work very well. Even the free version provides a decent variety of pedal effects with no noise. As I use it only for practice and informal recording, it is all I need.

    Thanks very much.

    I want to thank you for your suggestion. I really wasn’t optimistic so I procrastinated but today I tightened the screws between the tubes (one on top of the case, the other inside). The inside screw tightening made a significant improvement, especially if the selector switch beside the guitar input on the Jazz King is in the “-10deb” position (the Jazz King has one input with the selector rather than high and low inputs).

    I was really thinking I would just sell the thing. Now I think it has made my SS amp sound a lot better and I don’t feel the urgency to buy a different amp. It surprises me that EHX said it was within spec. They must not have tried the screw trick!

    Thanks again!

    Are you having the same issue?

    I sent mine to EHX and it was returned with the comment that it was performing within spec. I tried various things and what seemed to help was having the guitar as far from the TubeEQ as possible, which makes adjustments a little awkward.

    I hoped the TubeEQ would improve the tone of my Ibanez Atcore F105NT and Fender Jazz King combination, both of which have favorable reviews on the net, but don’t give me the warm jazz tone I am looking for. I can’t blame the EQ, but as it didn’t magically resolve my tone search, it sits in its box on a shelf. (I might add that it didn’t improve the tone of my Strat through that amp or two other solid state amps I have.)

    After a lot of searching, I’ve decided that I need to get a widely recognized amp for Jazz (possibly a Fender Princeton Reverb tube or Quilter 200 solid state) and then work on the guitar part of the equation.

    Sorry for the long reply….just want to provide context.

    Thanks very much. I will follow-up here with the outcome.

    Thanks for your response. I certainly won’t be opening it. The noise/hum is present only when the TubeEQ is active (not in bypass or with it out of the chain). The amp and PSU are plugged into to the same powerbar/AC outlet. Would you please resend the service URL. I can’t see it even with JavaScript enabled.

    Thanks again,
    Chris
