SOURCE: Hi,I turned on my Marshall mg series 100 dfx and
I suspect the power supply for the effects processor has failed. The effects unit will "go crazy" when power supply is too low voltage.
If the amp has loud noise, then the power amp portion is PROBABLY OK.
I had a similar problem in a Behringer amp caused by a bad electrolytic filter cap.
SOURCE: why dose my guitar amp make a high pitch sound
If you have an instrument plugged into the amp, then you need to turn down the volume of the amp before turning on the amp. Otherwise you risk permanent damage to your speaker. Also, the instrument cord may be defective. The hot and ground wires may be shorted together. You need an ohm meter to test your cord. With the cord unplugged and detached, put the positive (red) lead of the ohm meter on the tip of the plug and the negative (black) lead on the sleeve of the plug. You should not have any reading at all. If you get a reading then you have a bad cord with a short.
