Hey everyone,
Haven't been on this board in a while! Seems to still be going strong.
I've got an early-ish MKIIC+ (cream combo, 60W, Rev), that's been sounding great for a few years, but is having some issues. It's been regularly serviced, but issues are still popping up.
At the moment, I've noticed that the cleans have been getting very muddy, and I'm certainly losing a lot of definition. Even with the first gain control set at around 3, I still can't get a really clean sound. Once the control is up to 7-8, it's chockers with gain, and very 'solid-state' ish. This was annoying me, but the amp still sounded good with the gain on lower settings.
However, today it was sounding even more muddy and distorted on the clean side of things. I unplugged my guitar so I could just listen to the amp, and I noticed that if I bumped it or tapped the amp on top, a crackle was coming out the speaker. Could this be a cold solder/dodgy tubes/time for a cap job? Anyone had a similar event occur?
Cheers!
