Try this before you put new tubes in it. If the amp gets some dust in it the F/X loop could be causing that. That's what happened to mine. Just push your F/X loop buttons in about 5 to 10 times each and see if that fixes your problem.

I know this may seem absurd but I was having the same issues. I tracked it down to unstable power in my band room. I bought a nice power conditioner and my troubles went completely away.

Whats up Chrismac?  How did you check power in your room and how much did you pay for the power conditioner? I tried TJ's ideal but its still doing it |

Whats up man!? To be honest, I checked it with a voltmeter and I didn't see anything wrong. After blowing tons of tubes, I got the PC and I haven't had the problem since. Thats the only thing it could be. I bought a Monster PC and it was around $250. Although, they can be had for WAY cheaper than that. If something like that doesn't work....I guess its time for a trip to the Splawn Garage. |

Usually the phase inverter. Turn the lights off and look at your power tubes. As you play, you should see the blue glow within one pair dim and brighten with changes in volume.
