Hello everyone.
I’ve got a Roland JC50 that’s acting up. To be more precise it’s distorting all the time. No matter what volume I play at. If I play louder the distortion gets “hidden” behind the guitar sound but when played softly it’s very audible. There is clean guitar signal but also a distorted signal in the background. If I don’t play the amp is pretty silent.
Any idea what might cause this? I’m thinking maybe a faulty transistor but I don’t know which one.
I also have an idea that it might be a film capacitor since if I touch it, it makes a kind of “magnetic” sound thru the speaker. Maybe this is normal?
Any help much appreciated.
