Dude, I would love to try and help - but I'm in the middle of nowhere with stone-age dial up connected at 14.4 Kbps. It takes me days to download a video

The first video sounds like it's just your note going to a harmonic? Not sure if that's what you're demonstrating

The second one sounds like a fizzley/crackle and that would be a preamp tube making that kind of noise/artifacts


Also, what the hell does LRRG mean?

so it's normal?

Platypus,

thank you for not being a f*cking as*hole and answering with a helpful response. i guess not everyone on this thread is a f*cking jerk, just the people in my thread.

i will replace my new preamp tubes with my old preamp tubes,
one by one
until i find out whats going down.


Thank You,

Stone

I'm sort of confused, are you demonstrating two different sounds you're hearing?

it's the same one. but like TomiR said it's probably a microphonic preamp tube

Definitely a microphonic tube. Tap the preamps lightly with your fingernail with it powered up and speaker on, just like you were doing on the top of the amp. This will tell you exactly which tube it is.

Tubes are hinky. One amp I had fell 6inches from an angle onto it's back in the back seat of my car. 10 minutes after hooking it up I blew a 3 week old power tube. I got a brand new EH 12AX& from Doug tubes and it was bad. He sent me a new one but it does happen/

Your videos cracked me up...Nice playing on Down BTW.
