Members rahimiiii Posted June 14, 2006 Members Share Posted June 14, 2006 I think this is the amp, I play my American strat through a pro junior and for some reason any note higher than the high e string sounds like a slight distortion at any volume. It sounds almost like metallic sound, and not clean sounding like it should. I wonder what is the problem here? Its not the guitar cause it doesnt sound like that unplugged or plugged into another amp. Also it sounds like this when the tone is dialed to increase the highs, but when the neck pickup is turned on or the highs are rolled off then the metallic sound disappears and it sounds normal...

Members fishfartz Posted June 14, 2006 Members Share Posted June 14, 2006 have you replaced the tubes lately? im thinking its probably not something loose within the amp because if it were it seems to me like lower notes with more girth would bring this noise on before higher pitched notes. anyway, id try the tubes first and see if that helps.

Members rahimiiii Posted June 14, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 14, 2006 I replaced it with JJ tubes from eurotubes and the noise got worse! I wonder what tubes are better? I emailed eurotubes and they havent even replied... I guess its none of their concern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BadHorsie Posted June 14, 2006 Members Share Posted June 14, 2006 A microphonic preamp tube, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
