So earlier today I posted the question about using a noise gate with my Express 5:25 to tame the hiss on the clean channel.
Well, I'm starting to suspect there may be something else wrong with my amp. Tonight I sat down to practice a bit, and after about 10 minutes there volume just dropped right out. I took a look at the back, and sure enough, one of the EL84 was red-plating :evil: .
These tubes are only a couple of months old. The pair previous were also only a couple of months old when one started red-plating. At the time I figured that was a one-off, bad tube.
Wondering if anyone has any ideas for diagnostics before I send it to the tech.
Sigh
