Oh tube amps suck.

Re: Oh tube amps suck.

After a while I could smell the heat being generated by the amp. I looked in the head through the top. I could see all the power tubes looking dim except what may have been the rectifier tube, it was glowing quite brightly.

You sure you've got that thing hooked up right? No tubes in there should be "glowing quite brightly."

That is the first thing that caught my eye, if one tube is glowing really bright then you probably have a bad tube and it is effecting the rest of the amp. take it back to the store you got it from and hook it up there. Let the tech, if they have one take a look, or just get a new set of tubes from them before you return it. If the new set does the same thing, return the amp and get a new one, you will need the extra set of tubes anyway.

Re: Oh tube amps don't suck...I do.

I'm sorry about the title and I'm sorry I'm being a raunch. I've got some things going on in my life right now that are really wearing me down, and this was just that one more thing I didn't need to deal with.
