Hey Folks,

I am new at the Kustom amps but not to electronics work. (30+yrs) My recently acquired 795 Frankie head has a ground wire going from the reverb pan over to the amp chassis. When I ran the amp with this wire disconnected the reverb hummed like a big dog. I reached in and touched the wire to the pan and it quit. You might check and make sure yours is not missing the ground wire. I would expect the shielded cables to tie the pan back to chassis ground but it obviously is not doing the job.

Give it a try with an alligator clip lead and see if it makes any difference.

Good Luck!

Cecil...
