If it was your tubes (which it more than likely is), they were on their way out. Your amp is going to sound much better with a new set of tubes. If you can, have the amp biased as well.

I would recommend the JJ tubes to anyone. I already do! :D

Write an e-mail to Bob at Eurotubes. Tell him what make and model your amp is and what tubes you have in there now. Tell him the sound you are after. The guy is a pro. This is all he does for a living. He will give you good advice. Plus his tubes are quality and prices are great.

He's probably put tubes in your model amp dozens of times already and knows all about it.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/im-scared-something-is-wrong-with-my-amp/#post-71801 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/im-scared-something-is-wrong-with-my-amp/#post-71798 Wed, 06 Oct 2004 05:26:20 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/im-scared-something-is-wrong-with-my-amp/#post-71798 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/im-scared-something-is-wrong-with-my-amp/#post-71792 Wed, 06 Oct 2004 04:02:04 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion BlAiNe https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/im-scared-something-is-wrong-with-my-amp/#post-71792 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/im-scared-something-is-wrong-with-my-amp/#post-71778 Wed, 06 Oct 2004 02:32:02 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/im-scared-something-is-wrong-with-my-amp/#post-71778 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/im-scared-something-is-wrong-with-my-amp/#post-71774 Wed, 06 Oct 2004 01:52:12 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion BlAiNe https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/im-scared-something-is-wrong-with-my-amp/#post-71774 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/im-scared-something-is-wrong-with-my-amp/#post-71537 Mon, 04 Oct 2004 02:43:45 +0000

But it doesn't make any difference in normal use.

Letting the tubes' cathodes heat up fully on startup before putting high voltage on the tubes will make the tubes last longer. 30 seconds is probably adequate. Some recommend longer times.
