When I got my unit I had a similar side-speaker buzz/vibration thing going on. I took the speaker out (very easy to get to 4 screws on the grill in the side cut-out, just keep a hold on the speaker from the other side as you remove them) and discovered that there were splinters from the edges of the hole cutout that were protruding and touching part of the speaker cone/surround. Sanding those off and replacing the speaker cured the buzz for me. Definitely worth checking. Interesting. So you took the side speaker out completely to do this? Removing the grill from the speaker side and the screws from the back side?

I'll take another look. In both cases I think the sound is coming from the side speaker which is tougher to get to. I did make sure the screws around that speaker were tight.

Hey all, I know this has come up a few times here. I've read through the last 20-30 pages of this thread and have seen some fixes that worked for others but I'm not having any luck ... I got one of these amps and right away I noticed some buzzing/vibrating when I hit some lower frequencies. It was most noticeable when I started around the D below middle C on my Nord Electro 5 , for an octave or so below that, using the rhodes mk 1 patch. It ends up sounding like a slight overtone for a couple seconds, and it's noticeable at fairly low volumes (12 o'clock on the Nord and the amp). I posted my issue on the Spacestation Family facebook group and it was suggested that I make sure the driver on the main speaker was tight. It was. I asked Sweetwater to send me a replacement. That arrived last week. This time, the side speaker does some very loud buzzing/vibrating around those same frequencies when I have the panning effect on the Nord. You hear it pretty clearly with each "pan." If I turn the "Wide" knob all the way down there's no buzzing. If I turn panning off, there's a little buzz, but much less than before. (Yes, I could turn the panning off, but I want that herbie hancock sound!) I have tried this with many sets of cables (including some brand new ones) and two different mixers. It's not the Sub Out "Fart" - I plugged a cable into that output, still have the issue on each amp. I read here some had an issue with the fuse cover next to the powersource. I placed my hand on that cover while playing and the sound is still there, on each unit. Any ideas? I am at a loss ...

I bought a laser printer 2 or 3 years ago. Just ran out of the starter cartridge a couple week ago. I've never had an ink jet printer cartridge last that long. For me, a printer is something I need maybe 4 times a year, but when I need it, I really need it. For that reason I'm really glad I went for a laser printer. You can get them cheap these days, under $100.

This reminds me - in high school my, uh, jazz fusion trio (we wanted to be MMW; also I got laid all the time) got booked to play some campground. Halfway through the gig people started yelling for us to "play something patriotic." I think we went with Fables of Faubus ...
