Generally I'd say for a tube amp that doesn't leave the house, See's only limited use and is never driven hard enough to reach it's saturation point they can last for many years. When used on the road night after night they will need to be replaced more often to keep it in top form.

I'm harder than most on equipment, plus their turned on for many, many hours at a time running at their saturation point into dummyloads and attenuators. Not to long back I a couple tubes kind-a blow apart. They just got to hot. Now I've installed another fan, which makes three total to keep them the amps cool. They'll probably last till middle of summer before I have to change them again.

Hope this Helped.

Are you using good power conditioner to clean up the power for your rig. Can you unplug the speaker and plug another one in.


Here's an interesting site. The Fender Amp Field Guide

Don't panic - both are reparable, it just depends how much "reparable" is going to cost.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/fender-tube-amplifier-buzzes/#post-95094 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/fender-tube-amplifier-buzzes/#post-7931 Wed, 23 Mar 2005 22:41:33 +0000
However, just recently I've been noticing a problem when I use the amplifier at high volumes or with distortion from a stompbox - whenever I play, especially notes on the bottom two strings, the amplifier buzzes. It is not the guitar, which sounds fine unplugged and played clean at a moderate volume. I'm not very knowledgeable about the inner workings of amplifiers, so if this has happened to anybody or if somebody knows something about it, I'd really appreciate it if you could help me out.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance shrunkenhead145 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/fender-tube-amplifier-buzzes/#post-7931
