I bought an F-50 used. It came with aftermarket tubes in it; the power amp tubes say "6L6GC Made in Russia" on them. Below that one has 0506, the other has 0510. The preamp tubes say "12AX7 TUNG-SOL Made in Russia." I have only ever played it in my bedroom. I love this amp! It has been playing fine, for a couple years, until recently, when I plug in my guitar and flipped the switches on, the sound of the guitar is very faint and the distorted channel is not distorting.
I made sure everything is firmly conntected. I noticed the tubes are extremely hot to the touch, is that normal? Forgive me, I'm a newbie. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?
Thanks,
Kevin
