hi guys

 

my other guitarist has a fender roc pro head, and well it sounds pretty good,

 

however, it keeps cutting out while we play.

 

Now he tells me, hes NEVER changed the 1 tube in it (has no idea about the tube inside) and its dated 1993.

 

He also told me it went from taking about 30 seconds to warm up, to 2-3 minutes.

 

To me, that says BAD TUBE! but im not much on hybrid amps

 

So i popped it open today, cause i guess one other guy had already resoldered the tube connections, and never bothered to look at the tube..it was covered in this tight grey rubber, which after i peeled off, the tube was chared black on top, more than usual

 

You guys think just replacing the tube would fix the problem? its a 12ax7 preamp tube, thats it.

 

Newb question i know, but im new to tube amps. Hopefully thats all it is, cause right now all we have to listen to is his 120watt crate head :eek:

 

thanks in advance
