Hi Guys,
I'm after a little advice..
My IVA has started to sound a little sick, has had a recent revalve and gets used for about 4-5 gigs a month.
In the last few weeks, I have noticed a strange "buzz" on note decays on R2 and the now the same on R1..
However, last night, I was unable to get the loop to work at all, lights were on etc but no effects coming through the loop (the amp was also down on power), tried the usual "plugging into the effects loop" to try and pinpoint a possible faulty preamp tube but got no volume or just a really farty/buzzy sound.
Changed the 12ax7 tube between main preamps and powers (as per manual instructions) and it didn't make a difference.
However, when I switched the amp between Class A and Simul, everything came back ok but it still doesn't sound as clean/clear as it should.
Any ideas?, should i try swapping out the preamp tubes in the first instance or does it sound more sinister????
