Hey hey,
Fixing a Fender Stage 100 amp - replaced quite a few parts and down to the six emitter resistors - they are .47 ohm, and only one was anywhere near this value (all in 2 - 6kohm).
Anyway, I replaced with what I had in my stash - four .47ohm and two .43ohm (figured 10%).
Amp now works but with hum/buzz - could slightly unequal emitter resistors cause hum/buzz? I remember it could raise distortion, but hum/buzz?
Also sound like 120hz not 60hz...
