Hi Guys
I've had the amp now for 4 years and never replaced the rectifier tubes and am now experiencing a volume drop from my clean channel when i go into the fluid drive at a matched setting.
The amp has never done this before. I have replaced V3 with a new pre amp and trouble shooted all pre amp tubes with new pre amp tubes, no dice.
I replaced all the el34's just over a year ago and have only done 16 gigs in the last year plus practices at 3 hours a week or thereabouts.
Any ideas what it could be?
I checked the rectifier tubes and one seems to be a bit colder than the other when the amp is put on standby, should i replace those first and see what happens? They've never been replaced. Do you replace both at a time or is one at a time ok?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Chris
