    Whoa!

    Nice camera work, very "60's music video"!

    Seriously, sounds like a bad tube. Start with the preamp tubes...

    Oh, & if you bought it new, bring it back & make them fix it for you.

    Sweet! I am gonna add some Psychedelic stuff in the background.. :)

    Thanks for the advice, I bought the amp used off of E-bay.. Needless to say I am somewhat upset..

    Here's another thing

    This is so simple, I forgot about it.

    Check the Normal channel. Try setting each of the knobs on this side to 0 & see if that takes care of the noise. Unless, of course, you're *using* the normal channel, in which case turn everything on the Vibrato side off.

    My 3 year old likes to mess with the settings on daddy's amp. The other day I was confronted with an enormous hissing, which didn't go away even if I turned the volume OFF.

    Guess what? The Normal channel was dimed, volme, treble, bass. Turned all those off &...noisebegone!

    Just a thought.

    AMP PROBLEMS

    MAYBE YOU GOT A MICROPHONIC OR DYIN PRE AMP TUBE OR TUBES

    I'D GO THA ROUTE GOT ANOTHER AMP OR SOME EXTRA TUBES SAME SPECS
    REPLACE THEM ONE BY ONE AND SEE IF ITS THE LITTLE MONSTER

    HOPEFULLY ITS A LITTLE PREAMP TUBE USUALLY A 2ND ONE IN WREAKS HAVOK IMOP

    GOOD LUCK

    AS FOR THE REVERB FOOTSWITCH THE REV TUBE TRY ANOTHER
    MIGHT BE A 12AT7A OR A 12AT7
    TRY THE TUBE FIRST
    YOU COULD SUB A 12AX7 / 7025 IN PLACE FAST JUST TO TEST IT OUT MOST OF THE TIMES BUT LOOK ON THE TUBE STIKER CHART IF IN DOUBT MAYBE ITS A BAD TUBE OR TUBES.....

    ALSO THESE 12AT7 ARE THE FIRST PREAMP TUBE LOOKIN FROM BACK OF YOUR AMP ON YOUR LEFT VERY FIRST ONE...NEAR THE TRANNY ....

    TAP ON THE TUBES GENTLY AS THE AMP IS ALL TURNED DOWN OR UP A LITTLE SEE IF YOU HEAR ODD NOISES
    TUBES WEAR OUT
    SIMPLE STUFF FIRST

    I'm having the same problem with my Marshall TS601 - only mine is intermittent, but still bothersome. I'll try replacing the preamp tubes first. Thanks.
