[frets70]

Are those 5881's in the center power spots?

[metalvocalistwanted]

@frets70 uh yea some groove tubesss i doobielieve

[zach7000]

is there a certain pattern to changing the tubes? with some amps there is i was just wondering because im gonna change my tubes soon, they are going bad and my amp sounds like a dieing bull.

[metalvocalistwanted]

@zach7000 haha i know what that sounds like...and yea just look at the pins to make sure everything lines up \\m//

[metalvocalistwanted]

@zach7000 oh and its best to use one pair for the outer two and one pair for the inner two. you arent supposed to mix the pairs every other one if that makes sense ;)

[skate4free7]

What was the problem with your head man?

[metalvocalistwanted]

@skate4free7 just noisy mainly due to a decade of playing and never changing the preamp tubes. did the power tubes regularly tho. its sounds better now. \\m//

[skate4free7]

@metalvocalistwanted ohhh aright i see, so its all based on the tubes then right?

[metalvocalistwanted]

@skate4free7 well if you are still having problems you could always just kinda try to clean up the circuit board maybe. they say sometimes additional noise in older amp can be cleaned up that way \\m//
