Strange Problem Crate Blue Voodoo Need Help

Hi I bought a BV-60 1x12 combo second hand and its a great amp but have one strange problem with it. I want to avoid taking to a tech if possible. On the clean channel, the reverb works fine although I can tell the 12AU7 may be worn out as it feedsback on higher reverb settings even at low volumes. On the Gain channel(CH 2) on zero reverb off as I turn clockwise the reverb control acts more like a tone control. With it on 10 it is very treble-y and off it is opposite. What might the problem be, thanks?

Start with replacing the tubes. Mostly the preamp tubes since your problem doesn't seem like an output problem. Try a new tube in each socket substituting one at a time. This works unless you have more than one faulty tube. If you have not changed them in a while, I'd start there.

Problem described can also be internal components, bad solder, overheated components, etc.
