Re: Debugging Noise on a Home-Made Amp

Hey guys, new problem.

Once in a while (say, every ten minutes or so), the amp starts buzzing at 120Hz really loudly for about a minute, and then it quiets down again. If I ground the input, it goes away, but comes back when reconnected.

I'm thinking bad solder joint. Any other ideas?
