I think this is what I was running into. Replaced the fuse and the power tubes, everything seems to be back in order. Thanks for all the info, everyone!

I took them to a very reliable tube supply place in Denver. Not sure what they use but I have all the results of the test, all were fine. I didn't have my preamps tested though.

I didn't have the volume opened up. I'm going to pick up another and try it out. Thanks all!

Thanks for the advice. The fuse is blown. All tubes tested good. Any idea what could cause the fuse to blow like that?

Hey all, I have a 3 channel dual rectifier solo head. I was playing today and my amp died on me, and won't turn back on. Any good guesses on what it might be? Thanks!

How about matching tubes? Do they need to be matched? Also, if I use the same tube style ie: EL34's, can I use different brands at the same time?

Do you mean the EL34B's?

I need to get some new power tubes for my dual rectifier. It has the bias switch for EL34 or 6L6, so I can put in either. Just curious of big differences. Also, if anyone has any favorite brands. I play primarily metal. Thanks!

Thanks for the advice. As far as tubes go, any recommended types? I can use EL34 or 6l6's. I play primarily metal. Also, any favorite sources for them? Thanks again guys!

Thanks for the help. One is red plating. I've also read about cleaning where the tube sits. How exactly do I do that? Thanks again!

I have a dual rectifier 3 channel solo head. Everything is set within the recommended settings from the manual. I was playing and a volume swell and strong hum began, and a loud popping whenever I change channels. I turned it off and then quickly noticed a smell of something getting either too...
