Getting noticeable fizz when using a real cab
I'm posting this here now...originally I posted in the amp and cab forum but I think this may be something else. It's kind of odd and maddening really. I used to have a Marshall 4x12. A 1960AV to be exact with well broken in V30 speakers. Now I have a Port City 2x12 OS Vertical with a M75 in the top and H75 in the bottom. When I disable the cabs or leave the cabs out of the patch, I get a noticeable fizziness that I don't recall from before. On a clean patch, I couldn't detect this issue so it's really only happening on gain patches. I did some further testing and when I enable the cab sim going through the guitar cab, the fizz goes away. when I turn off the sim, it's right there and obvious. Thoughts? I don't have a different cab anymore to A/B that nor do I have another amp head.
To describe it, the fizz is like a hiss or consistent crackle in the background just underneath the tone.
