I started playing guitar at age 30, and finally after 14 years, decided to buy my first tube amp. It was one of those “how long are you going to wait before you buy the gear you REALLY want?” situations, and after lusting over the Express series for a while, I pulled the trigger and purchased...

Hi Folks! Quick summary about my gear (just like in the comic books where somewhere in the opening dialogue Wolverine has to explain that his adamantium claws can cut through anything) I have: - Express 5:25 1 x 10 with a Celestion Gold G10 - Clyde Fulltone Deluxe Wah --> Qtron Plus -->...

Hi Folks, I recently purchased my first tube amp, a 5:25 express, and I love it (all 10 hours of playing time!). I have encountered an issue, though. The last two times I have played it, after some warming up, there seems to be a slight throaty hiss (crackle would be way too strong a term)...
