Demented Trick
so my amp powers up, I can hear the click when I plug in, but the volume is extremely low and its a little scratchy. Is this most likely a tube issue, or something else?
If you have an effects loop jump it with a patch cable...
Cool, thanks. I'm fine with replacing them, as long I know the specs are the same. I'll take a pic and entertain suggestions for replacements.It's probably a tube. Remove and replace the preamp tubes with the same kind and test. It's easy to do, but if you're not comfortable doing it, find someone who is.
Pretty much. Worse comes to worse even the oddballs will have a 12AT7, 12AU7, or a 12AY7, unless you get the rare 6SL7 based amp.Just about every tube amp you have will have a 12ax7 in it. Just pull one from another amp and pop it in there.
Yeah, that's a 12ax7.
