Hey guys. I bought my Dual Rectifier a few months ago and ran into a problem last night. I noticed while on my clean channel that I could hear a weird, fuzzy distortion coming through. I checked the other two channels and heard that it was bleeding through on those as well. I then looked at the back of the amp and saw that both 5U4Gs were not glowing but were hot (the 12AX7s looked to be fine). I turned it off for a while and turned it back on to standby mode and nothing changed. What kind of problem am I looking at? Replacement tube(s)? Blown fuse? I'd greatly appreciate the help as I am new to tube amps and don't want to go out buying stuff that I don't need. Also, could anyone tell me what would lead to this or is it just typical after so long that this will happen? Thanks!
