Members DeepEnd Posted August 13, 2016 Members Share Posted August 13, 2016 I had an amp tech look over the output transformer today. He didn't find anything out of the ordinary. I think I may start looking for a better amplifier. I'm about to leave to check out a Rivera Era Champ II. If the Champ II doesn't work out, I took the liberty of checking your local CraigsList based on the location in your profile. Any of these would be a possibility for gigging, maybe not so much for bedroom levels: Traynor YCV80 $320 seattle.craigslist.org/est/msg/5720449085.html Peavey ValveKing 212 $325 http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/msg/5717154248.html Fender Hot Rod DeVille $400 http://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/msd/5711291963.html Mesa Subway Blues $450 http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/msg/5705937190.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members onelife Posted August 13, 2016 Members Share Posted August 13, 2016 The Subway Blues is a very noisy amplifier - not suitable for recording - and it eats EL84 output tubes so you will have similar problems. That being said, I often play through one. It is great for getting a creamy thick overdriven sound with a Les Paul or a Telecaster but I don't believe it would be suitable for getting a clear sound out of a jazz box. The Hot Rod Deville is big, bulky, loud and hissy but you may find the Fender Blues Deluxe suitable for a nice, warm, clean full bodied jazz sound.

Members *BLEEP* Posted August 14, 2016 Members Share Posted August 14, 2016 I described the problem I was having and they said it wasn't microphonics but it was filament rattle. It sounds like the filament rattle from the speaker vibrations is causing a feedback effect. This is one of the reasons I like heads more than combos. You can move the head away from the speakers, even by several feet, if you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members onelife Posted August 14, 2016 Members Share Posted August 14, 2016 My favourite amp of all time is the Yamaha DG80. It has all the advantages of a tube amp without the disadvantages. There is a good chance it will give you the clarity and warmth (without the muddy) that you are looking for. Because it doesn't actually have tubes in it, the sound is always consistent and there is no risk of filament rattle. If you can find one to try out, you may be able to get it at a reasonable price.

Members Tomasz1970 Posted October 7, 2020 Members Share Posted October 7, 2020 Tubes vibrates in some special causes of pkaying quitar. But...it is vibration coming from inside the tubes. So...I think nothing to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
