From your description, it sounds as though your noise is coming primarily from the effects of the guitar pickups and proximity to the amplifier. Try plugging in your guitar, and standing at least six feet away from the amplifier. Turn different directions to see if the effect is minimized. My guess is that you either have very noisy single-coil pickups, or your input cord is poorly insulated. It is also possible that another device (lamp, fan, etc.) on the same circuit is adding noise through the amplifier. If none of this helps, it is time to visit the the nearest Fender Service Center (see http://www.fender.com/support/service_centers/ ). As far as the “crack” when you switch off, this is typical of Fender solid-state units. Turn down the volume on the amplifier, guitar, and effects, and slowly rotate the switch to the “off” position (instead of “snapping it off). That loud crack has the potential to damage speakers. Let me know if I can help further. Best regards, Dana<br><b>References : </b><br> Hello, Richard!
