noise from my guitar amplifier

The gutar: Stratocaster 2003 made in mexico 60s

The Amp: VOX DA5 (new)

To the problem. I changed the pickguard and now when I play the strings hard i makes strange noise. Like a deep buzz or something, and no the strings do not touch the frets when pick them open. I've changed the strings for the first time on my electric, so maybe I did that wrong? the pickups are too low maybe?

Sorry for my rotten English.

All tips will be greatly appreciated.

Ah, I see your problem!

You should have learned to play drums.

Could it be feedback?arab_prince

How can I recognize it if it is a feedback problem?

Well feedback is a buzz sound cause by your guitar being close to the amplifier. Try to stand/sit a little farther away from the amp and see if it still makes the sound.

maybe its the gauge of string your using... but im not that sureJesoos

That is an interesting thought. I will definitely buy some new strings tomorrow.

Never! ;)

I have the exact same amp and I also have that problem...Also, my guitar is a Strat HH Made in Mexico, so I don't think your guitar is the problem...THE_DRUGGIE

Hmm ok so you don't have a fix for it I take it. Maybe I should get it replaced , the warranty is still good. The only problem is that it started with the buzzing sound after i changed the pickguard and the strings. I hope it is the amp because I really love the guitar.

It's definitely the amp. It's most likely old and worn out. I got my guitar in 2006 and didn't tweak it at all, so the modifications you made didn't contribute to the buzzing.

But the amp is new, like out of the box one month ago.

it's probably string buzz. you must have set up different gauge from what it originally had.

So now I tried it with my headphones on, and the noise is gone. As soon a i unplug an go with the amp it comes back. Almost sounds like a blasted speaker, I've never had it on the highest volume to begin with so why the heck would it make those sounds.

About the strings, they're supposed to be perfect for the strat according to the dude at the store. Fender Nickelplated steel SUPER 250s or superbullets.

my strat does that when the pickup switch is on one pickup, i play on the middle-bridge position. u can do that or get noisless pickups for like $100Guitargod00

I really don't feel like spending more money. The guitar was perfect before I changed the Pguard , and the strings. I will buy some new string tomorrow to see if that's my problem. I will also speak to them regarding the amp. Thnx everybody for your help :)

Does it stop buzzing if you touch and hold the strings? If so, it's just feedback. Sit further away from the amp and also try turning around so you aren't facing the amp.

My Cyber Twin does that with a cheap strat that I have, but when I use a better quality strat, it doesn't do it nearly as bad. I think it's probably either bad connections in the guitar hardware or you might need to get better shielded audio cable.

Nope it does not stop the moment I stop the strings from ringing out, it drags on for a couple of seconds if i have it on drive or hgain. The sound is more like a dark buzz or a growl.
