I just recenty bought a used fender performer 1000 for $150...I have read they have some problems with buzz, humm and pop noise! Mine does all those things!!! Other then that it works great. I'm not about to try to fix these problems myself...anyone have some suggestions???? I bought it at guitar center with pro coverage extra. Are these expensive problems to repair? help me...mike

SO many thing this could be.
Imagine if I said my breakfast tasted funny and asked what it might be. SO many things could be wrong, and it really depends what i am eating. My bowl of cereal could have spoiled milk on it, or my scrambled eggs might have been cooked in olive oil. Those things have different cures.
These amps suffer from the exact same things most other solid state amps suffer from. You could have cracked solder on your main filter caps, or not. You could have cracked solder under the input jack, or output jack, or any of the controls on the panel. Larger power resistors could have broken free. Your reverb pan could have loose connections or bad cables.
Noises are not generic, they can come from a million things, and each thing has its own cure, the cure for one noise has nothing to do with the cure for a different noise. Just as a fresh bottle of milk won't make my olive oil eggs taste any better when I pour it over cereal.
The first step is to determine just what is wrong. Does banging the amp make noise? If so, something is loose. Does turning the controls down kill the noise/. Etc.Education is what you're left with after you have forgotten what you have learned. -
your right could be anything...I'll just use my extended coverage and let a pro fix it, at no cost to me! Most of the reviews I've seen about the fender performer 1000 are not exactly stellar. Used Amps are like used cars, take a chance everytime...
I have a used fender frontman 65r and it's never given me one problem, it's only good on the clean channel though, overdrive sounds like shit...thanks for the quick response man, mikeComment
