Was out playing the LSC tonight, at the drummer's place, kinda like an informal jam type thing.
It was the first time cranking the new el34 Siemens tubes I got from Mesa a couple of weeks ago.
Everything was sounding awesome, the amp was just singing, like never before. Then we started noticing a smell, like burning plastic, coming from the vent holes in the back. It got fairly strong, we had to open up the doors and windows, and it was about 10 degrees out. It just kept on coming, too, even after we turned it off, and let it sit and cool off for a while.
Any y'all got a clue what might be going on? SOMETHING sure smells like it's burning. :shock:
The tubes didn't look abnormal in any way...
