I have a Kustom amp, (the old one with the metal mesh on the back), I think it is the 150, anyway it has a light hiss. It is the same at any volume and if I use my other Kustom head it is still there. It has 2 JBLs and I don't know if it came with them that way when it was new. Other wise it plays great. Some of the other band members complain about it. What could I do? Any Ideas.

All kustoms have that white noise hiss, and the better the speakers or the wider their frequency range the more the idle hiss will be heard.
