Members companyman Posted February 20, 2014 Members Share Posted February 20, 2014 ...I have bought the Cougar5 and 15 this week, the 5 had a wicked hum at idle with nothing plugged in to it, like really loud hummmmmmm...so back it went decided to give the Cougar 15 a chance because GC gave me a great deal. It arrived today and it started redplating and making horrible noises, I replaced the tubes hoping it was the cheap tubes.... Nope same thing. There are some serious quality issues with the Cougar series, buy at your own risk. Back to Guitar Center, fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ispunk Posted February 20, 2014 Members Share Posted February 20, 2014 You should really post this over on TGP. The owner of Bad Cat hangs there and he's very helpful. His username is jbt7764 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BHz_econo Posted February 21, 2014 Members Share Posted February 21, 2014 I don't know man. Sounds kind of fishy that two different amps from the same place had issues. There is a common factor though... sounds like user error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
