Hello

So i have bought the new Marshall AFD 100 head. It's sounds great! It has a build in Power control so that you can cranck up the Master volume so the tubes get driven hard. Then the power control let you choose how many watts you want to play with. when it's all the way down it uses 0.1 watt, and when all the way up 100 watts. When i turn the power control up over 1 watt there comes a buzzing like a ''low string against the fret ringing sound'' especially when i play the lower strings?... I tried it on all my guitars and it's the same. Let me say now that i am not playing out of a Marshall cabinet. Im playing out of a Framus cabinet (it has 120 watts i think).
Can it be the cabinet that simply can't take that much gain power which the amp has, or is it the amp itself maybe?
Should i buy a Marshall cabinet?
What could the problem be?

Please help me. It's a killer amp and i want it working perfectly! :(
