Just trying to confirm this (hope it's the right section):
My TriAxis/2:90 has suddenly turned super muddy. Like, "Presence to 3 o'clock and still undefined" muddy (previously had it set to below half, always, even with my darkest guitar).
Side note - I tried plugging the TriAxis into my JVM to see if it's the preamp's fault and nope, it wasn't.
Anyway, the tubes in that thing are old... yet the seller claimed he had retubed it a couple of years before selling it to me and that he didn't use them at all, but to me they look about as old as Mother Earth! I mean, they're a MESA tube that isn't even in production anymore (STR-415 I think).
So - can older than Jesus tubes cause such a sudden muddyness? Should I try swapping the 12AX7s to see if they are making this (though I doubt it since it's just a driver and 2 PIs)?
