Trouble Shooting Tips:
Preamp and power tubes may become microphonic and lose power over time. A few of the common
symptoms are:
A high-pitched squealing sound when you turn on your amp.
A static sound when your guitar volume is turned down.
A loss of output or a muddy signal.
One simple test to determine whether your amp is experiencing preamp or power tube problems can be
performed by plugging your guitar into the effects return of your amp:
If the static or squealing noise continues, then the problem is related to the power tubes or driver tube
(third from left) and they should be replaced. If the static noise goes away, then the first or second preamp
tube is the culprit and should be changed. Start by replacing the first position tube, farthest to the right
looking at the rear of your amp.
We suggest changing power tubes every 6 months for those who play their amp more than an hour per
day 3 to 5 times a week.
