This is my first post here, but I was hoping that you guys could help me with something...
So, I was doing my usual rocking today and was messing with a riff... then I noticed that my volume was dropping. I kinda ignored it and kept going, then I started noticing that my gain was dropping as well.
I was looking at the knobs -- gain was almost at 1:00 on vintage mode and the sound that was coming out was low in volume and clean. So I tried the green channel. Low volume, high gain, barely any signal.
I turned it off and posted on Harmony Central, but I didn't really get any ideas other than to change the tubes. I went out and got a new set of Mesa EL34's and used an old set of preamp tubes that I knew already worked.
NO DICE
Still the same problem. Very little gain, very little volume. And now it sounds like there's a blanket over my speakers.
I'm not quite sure what to do other than send it to a tech, but I'd like some ideas as to what's wrong before I go doing anything expensive and drastic.
Any ideas?
