Of course, should you feel that it's excessive then consult with the manufacturer.

Is it a sudden jump in hiss, maybe with a slight "clunk" ? If so could be parasitic oscillation. That would need the ministrations of a good tech.

Thanks chaps
sounds like a nest of vipers in there !
Do you have the VAC on yours? If I have the amp running wide open with VAC off, and I use my normal settings with a Tele (bright input 1, tone at 9, volume at 7), it sounds incredible first and foremost, but yes, there is also an audible hiss.. although not something I would consider intrusive or problematic for recording or gigging. Playing alone in the house I guess it could be a bit annoying.
if you have VAC, you'll find that as well as attenuating the volume of your signal, it'll also of course attenuate the noise floor so the hiss will seem much less apparent with VAC bringing the power down.

If I open up the attenuator a little so that the playing volume is most definitely anti-social for home use, then I can hear hiss at the same control settings, but I found it not intrusive and the volume of the amp at those settings was *way* louder than the hiss.
It's hardly a scientific experiment but it sounds like your might be worth having a tech look at it.
think I may get it checked out
