Quick Question
I was wondering..when ppl say distortion, are they talking about the static sounding thing?
# 1
[font=trebuchet ms]They mean the kind of sound that results from overdriving the input of the preamp, or the power amplifier.[/font]
# 2
oh, is there any specific word that is also a synonym to static, because on static is not on the amp description

Are you referring to white or pink noise (they are different) ?
kind of sounds like "Sshshshshshshshshsheeeeeeeeeeeeeee" Like a TV not tuned a channel.
Unless you have pressed a button that is labeled "pink noise" or "White noise" it usually means the thing in question is either
1) not tuned / calibrated (needs fixing)
or
2) broken (need fixing)
Pink noise it used for calibrating EQ and speaker system set ups.
I have never seen a pink noise generator intentionally incorporated into a guitar amp.

What would pink noise sound like?
The Gods Made Heavy Metal, And They Saw That It Was Good
They Said To Play It Louder Than Hell, We Promised That We Would
Hulk Smash!!
Whatever you do, don't eat limes. A friend of mine ate a lime once and BAM!! Two years later. Herpes.

In white noise, every frequency has the same amount of power, resulting in a high pitched noise.
In pink noise there is a 3dB decrease with every octave of increase, so that each octave has the same amount of power = flat response curve.

The hiss you hear is more than likely caused by your leads from guitar to amp.
The shield is probably breaking down. Also if you use efects that pump up the input gain that can also cause hiss. If you have the set up loop your effects so that the guitar goes in to a clean chanel and you kick the effects in via a footswitch. That should solve the problem.
