When playing my line 6 Spider Valve Mk2 112 the input signal suddenly dropped out and all that was happening was a high-pitchedsqueal sound (not feedback). I've unplugged all input cables and the sound remains, the master volume still operates to control the level of whatever the noise is, and it stops when on standby. I've had the amp switched off for a good 15 minutes and tried again but the noise persists. Any ideas what this may be?
The only controls on the amp that seem to have any effect on the noise are the presence and master.
It sounds to me like you have a bad tube somewhere. One of the downfalls of tube amps is that every now and again they do need to be taken to a technician to be cured.
I'm guessing cpu chip. When mine went out it made terrible noises.
Stay in the mix and in the know.
