Just got my 4010 today, however....
let me run this by you......master on 7 and pre on 4 and the noise level ( hiss and stuff) is quite good, Lo input
Plug my pedal board into the amp ( some Kingsley ODs and reverb and delay, 6 pedals in total) pedals are all OFF BTW and the noise level shoots up without me engaging a single pedal...what's this all about? The odd thing is switching on the ODs does not really worsen the hiss at all
I notice higher levels of Master make matters worse and lower Master with higher gain makes less hiss noise....i would have thought it would be worse with higher gain levels......
Part 2
Instead of switching amp off for the day i just quickly pulled out the jack from the front of the amp....immediate loud SHHHH noise without anything plugged into amp SHHHHHHHHH.....nooooooooo,
Switched amp off and then back on and with nothing plugged in the seashore SHHHHHHHH continues
tae be or not tae be

Extra noise when there is no plug in the Low jack is normal, since the High gain stage is then engaged - the Low jack bypasses it. Lower gain settings make it worse because there is a treble-pass 'bright' cap on the gain control, which will let all the hiss through regardless of the setting.

Not familiar with any of those, but presumably at least one of them is buffered, and has a slightly noisy buffer - some are.

Hiss is normal with nothing in the Low jack because the High gain stage is not bypassed, and the noise you're hearing comes from there.

Whether it will fit without soldering depends on whether the speaker has been soldered in the past and how clean the terminals are - it's possible (likely) that there's too much old solder on them for the connectors to fit. It may be only on two though, and there are four on a Celestion. The terminals can be cleaned, but since you need a soldering iron to do it that might not be much use to you .

Why did you choose this speaker - because it's the closest to the old G12-80?
