New member here, and just bought a USED TA-15. Love the tones this amp provides, but noticed I'm having a noise issue on channel 1. Wondering if any of the other TA-15 owners out there can help me troubleshoot this problem.
FWIW, I did some searching around on the forum (read "TA-15 Hiss", and "TA-15 Noise in higher gain modes?", etc...) but nobody mentioned my exact issue.
THE TA-15 NOISE PROBLEM 30 SEC. SOUND CLIP:
The examples in the clip were recorded with an SM57 to Cloudlifter to Audiofire 4 into Cubase, NO processing. The amp WAS NOT receiving any input signal (no gtr plugged in) and the speaker cable from the head to my Mini Recto Cab is Brand New.
The amp was in Channel One, Normal Mode, with all knobs at zero, and cut/master pushed in.
Clip 1: In Standby
Clip 2: @ 5w (sounded fine)
Clip 3: @ 15w (constant buzz noise)
Clip 4: @ 25w (constant buzz/tone noise)

All settings on Channel 2 of the amp sound fine.
1. Does this sound like a bad preamp tube? power tube?
2. Do other TA-15 owners experience significant noise on Channel 1 in 15w & 25w with all knobs at zero???
Thanks for all the help!!!
