ok... I know, I know, "not another topic about buzzing!" but I'm sorry. it's just that when I turn on the overdrive, and crank the gain, it has an unnoticable buzz at low volumes, but when the volume is cranked, there is a very loud buzzing noise, when I place my fingers on the strings the buzzing reduces some, but not all the way. now my guitar is set up s/s/h and when I have a single coil selected, the hum is much worse, and when I have my humbucker selected, it's not as bad, but still bad enough to annoy the hell out of me and anyone listening to me... now, this is a pretty cheap guitar and amp, but I was wondering if maybe it was just because my guitar has crappy pickups, and that if I replace the humbucker (which is the pickup I'm playing through 90% of the time), it should fix the problem, or if it is the amp, which is about a $50 solid state... I'm real sorry about having another topic about this, but it's important to me... cause I don't want to throw down a bunch of money on a new amp, if all I needed to do was replace a pickup... thanks for your help in advance
