Hi, I need some help with a '67 head. I notice a fuzzy distortion behind the note when playing. I'm pretty sure I'm not overdriving the amp, it does it at low volume levels and with the volume knob on the instrument rolled back. Also, it seems like which direction the power switch is flipped makes difference in the sound of the channel and the ratio of normal signal to the background distorted signal.

Now, on to the tremolo. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't , but the intensity knob will change the tone of a sustained note.

The reverb works, but adds a lot of noise.

Any help trying to fix these issues would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
