Hey, I just wana find something out thats really been bugging me.
I noticed recently, (it seems to have gotten worse) that sometimes when im playing my amp just BUZZES LIKE CRRAAZZYY and then just stops then carries on sometimes louder that other. Is it the lead? the amp? radio interference? do I need my guitar shielded?

any help would be appreciated thanks alot

If you're standing infront of your monitor you'll get noise from your amp, also some light sources causes the same problem.

It may be radio interference too, check that your gear is away from any radio or tv.

It may also be mechanical noise - something loose. If your speaker grill-cloth is on a separate board from the speaker baffle, it might have come loose. Also take a look in the back to see if anything has loosened up. Check the screws holding things together.
