Members FWAxeIbanez Posted April 20, 2006 Members Share Posted April 20, 2006 So I just switched out my preamp tubes from a mutt selection to all chinese 9ths and no sound is coming from the cab, I hear a really thin, faint, and fuzzy tone coming from the actual inside of the head... I walked over to my cab to make sure, and there is absolutely nothing coming from the speakers... its all coming from inside... what the hell is going on?!

Members thrill74 Posted April 20, 2006 Members Share Posted April 20, 2006 It's usually normal...if the volume is turned all the way DOWN. Just the preamp tubes getting the signal. When you turn it up the power tubes amplify that signal etc...Most tube amps are like this. Played a DSL today, exact same thing. Then I turned it up. This could go on for awhile.

Members FalseRevRG Posted April 20, 2006 Members Share Posted April 20, 2006 maybe this is obvious, but have you checked your speaker cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FWAxeIbanez Posted April 20, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 20, 2006 I did a before and after test, just to be completely sure of what differences in tubes I heard... when I turned the amp on after the switch this is what I got...

Members FWAxeIbanez Posted April 20, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 20, 2006 Originally posted by rhino bucket guitar volume? I flipped the head over onto my lap to get at the tubes, and I guess in doing so I partially unplugged the speaker cable... should have been one of the first things I checked, but I lose at life and freaked out instead... haha but my effects loop is still fubar'd even after a tube change, -10 is for stomp boxes and +4 is rack effects right? not that it matters, there is still a 90% drop in volume no matter what I do...
