Just bought this amp in the UK second hand and am really loving the tone - for the first time, I'm able to recreate Rory Gallagher's Irish Tour tone almost to the letter.
Except that is when the volume starts to rise. Theres a really nasty wolf note/harmonic that appears to be about an octave below where I'm playing.
Tube wise it's got a crop of Sylvania 12AX7s with a 12AT7 in the first stage (Phillips) and these look like new old stock. No noises when i tap them. Output tubes were a mixed bag, one Mesa, One Sovtek, and a pair of JJ 6L6's which I've swapped out for GT6L6Rs. This didn't cure the problem.
The speaker doesn't appear to be at fault.
Any ideas?
Cheers, great site full of great info by the way!
