Strings Phosphor
My amp is really static and grungy. How do I fix this?
It sounds like its in overdrive all the time. The only time I can fix it is when the volume is so low you can't hear it over the actual guitar.
If it matters, it is a really small hiwatt amp, cost around $110, and I'm playing a Martinez acoustic, model MFC-23-*SB
The asterisk means I can't tell whether it is C or G, there is a mark covering the bottom half of it. I'm using Ernie Ball strings; phosphor bronze, sizes 11, 12, 22, 30, 42, 52. What settings should I use (eg, bass, treble, mid. and pres.)
I haven't had this problem before. It also has maxwatt and spitfire on it. I assume it just means what parts have been used. Just checked on back and it says
MAXWATT
MODEL: Spitfire
POWER: 240V AC, 12W, 50Hz
If that helps.
It sounds like you have blown your amp. Sorry to say, but it's time for a new one.
Either that, OR for any aspiring Guitar player, spend as much time without one as you can being as critical of yourself as you can.
You will love yourself later for making the effort.
