Diagnose Static/Egg Frying in Trinity 18 Watt Plexi MkII

[Bieworm]

The problem I had wasn’t tone loss… I picked up radio and rewired the input wiring, every grid wire,… turned out to be the 20 inch extremely well double shielded planet waves cord. Go figure… that was the antenna

Did you try extra grid stoppers? Damn you shielding that acts like an antenna!

BTW- I'm curious. If you take that same 20' cable, mark one side amp, and one side guitar. Then make sure the shield is only connected to the amp side ground. I wonder if that would cure the problem. (it probably doesn't matter which side it's connected to, as long as it's only one side)

Too late… I made 2 cables out of that one… looong ago

Solved! I tidied everything up, put the chassis back in the amp and played for an hour without any issues. I am finally at peace. Thanks again for working through this with me.
