On the clean channel, my DC-3 is making a loud hiss/hum when not being played that I've never heard before. I don't notice it on the dirty channel, just the clean. The tubes are brand new. Is this an easy fix? If so, what do I need to do?

Thanks for the responses. Perhaps I can be a little more specific with my question and you guys can help me out: I am currently in a band that plays "folk rock". Basically, there is an acoustic guitarist/singer, an electric lead (that's me), drummer, and a bassist. For rhythm work, I'm...

I read an article over the weekend about the different types of interchangeable tubes that you can use instead of 12AX7's. It stated that the 12AU7's have less gain than the 12AX7. Anyone have any experience using them or have any advice on using these preamp tubes instead of the typical...

Thanks! I will change them tonight after work...

Ok, stupid question: I am trying to change out my old pre-amp tubes in my DC-3 and I have never done this before. How do I get to them? I played around with it for a while last night and couldn't figure out how to approach them without breaking the parts holding them in and protecting them...

I have a DC-3 and I have always taken it to the shop to have the power tubes (12AX7's) changed. Is this something I can safely do myself?

I play a late 90's DC-3 combo but I recently spent an hour at GC toying with a LSC. For the first 30 minutes I couldn't get any sort of a tone I was happy with even though I was using a standard American strat. Then, the sales guy came over and turned all the knobs to zero on channel 1 and...

Any advice on ear plugs that retain clarity and allow you to discern your tone without losing integrity? I have tried a few and none seem to work.

I play a variety of music from blues to folk to rock and I love my DC-3 for all three. However, I'd like to expand my capabilities and the fullness of the bass by adding a cab. Any thoughts? 4X12? 1X12 thiele? Open back or enclosed? I use a Les Paul II and a vintage strat.

I'm interested...where are you located so I can check the shipping cost?

I've had my DC-3 for years, but I hadn't used the dirty channel much until recently. I've noticed that when I turn the master up past 2 or 3 I get a lot of hum when the guitar (Les Paul II) is not being played. How can I fix this problem? The clean channel is quiet as a mouse. Does running...
