Thy way it was explained to me is it is called, "transistor hiss".

The fix involves replacing transistors, namely if one is bad they all could be bad.

If you use a TUBE amp, you will not get transistor hiss.

It is the molecules moving around in the transistor that makes the hiss.

You could spend a lot of money on this and get less than satisfactory results.
If you can, you might want to sell it, and put the money towards a better amp . . .
