Change the 22 uF capacitors in the preamp high voltage supply to 47 uF, change them all. This will eliminate the hum, buzzing noise, and will get rid of the muddy sound. Hey thanks for the reply Soundguruman! I will get to swapping out the caps soon and see how she sounds.

I posted this in modern amps but didnt get a reply, so I am posting it here, too. My Nomad 55 combo has developed a hum. Anyone know what could be causing a hum in the red channel? The other two channels are fine. Changed all my tubes thinking that would solve it. Still there. Idea's anyone...

Anyone know what could be causing a hum in the red channel? The other two channels are fine. Changed all my tubes thinking that would solve it. Still there. Idea's anyone? Someone told me could be the power transformer going bad, but if it was that wouldn't the hum be present across all three...

I recently put a couple of GT 928-PR's (GT Power reducers aka substitutes) in my Nomad 55 12" combo and absolutely love the sound!

Hey Nomad express, Your mod looks great, Love the pics! I already did the 1mega ohm push pull pot variation or else I would give it a whirl...

What would be the best tubes for the nomad 55 post mods? I currently have jj audio el34s for the power amp section and electro harmonics 12ax7's in the pre-amp section, with a Phillips 12at7 in the last slot.

Thanks Recluse for the info. As soon as I get the parts I will replace the stock part with the push pull potentiometer. Looking forward to hearing this mod too!

Hello I am new to the forum and just completed all the mods but the Parallel to Series effects loop mod. All that I can say is my nomad 55 sounds incredible! Thanks to all for these mods! And now for my question about the parallel to series mod: I want to install a push pull pot, I can see...
