Members Boris the Blade Posted October 13, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 13, 2007 i dont think the sound is coming from the tubes. sounds like from the circuit board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members redeye5 Posted October 13, 2007 Members Share Posted October 13, 2007 the hot parts cool down and contract and you hear some pops/crackles/tingles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sekler Posted October 13, 2007 Members Share Posted October 13, 2007 the hot parts cool down and contract and you hear some pops/crackles/tingles I'd say that as well, could be the tubes filaments that are cooling down. I heard that after turning off every tube amp I owned or with friends. It surely is not a prob at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members freehandarson Posted October 14, 2007 Members Share Posted October 14, 2007 it may not be a connection.....but that was a characteristic of my old jsx that kept blowing tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the clicking have a very dull echo? It's coming from the tubes and it's no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Crusher Posted October 14, 2007 Members Share Posted October 14, 2007 It is just the tubes cooling off and contracting, both of my tube heads do it. No big deal at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
