Try more volume on preamp and less on amp. Also fiddle with stuff on your preamp.

in my experience, yes. if its just a little bit of ambient noise that increases with volume increases, then it may just be the amp, but "buzzing" is most likely a grouding issue.

well when you get to be one of the biggest touring acts in the US you wont have buzz either... but until then just try to supress it, those things sound amazing with it.

i might be going out on a limb here, but i think dave might have spent a little more money on his sound system than you

every amp has a little bit of buzz
