  • Fizzyness

    I have a Traynor YCV 50 Blue and and Epiphone Les Paul. Gain is at 5, Volume is at 7, Master Volume at 5 (the gain at 5 stops it from being really loud while keeping nice classic rock or bluesness).

    However, I find that it can be.. fizzy or buzzy when I play hard on single notes, or even even mildly on chords. Even turning the volume down doesn't help. And a problem that wasnt there when I got the amp, is the clean channel is suddnely sounding really... dry.. like, a dry taste in your mouth style. Neither of these things were in the amp in the store.. could it just be excessively bad tubes/dying?

    Is this a pickup issue you think, or more an issue with my amp (the tubes are stock and I hear the stock ones are crap). If it's tubes, what can be done to fix it (eg, good manufacturer)

      Whether it's the tubes or not, a new set of tubes will liven that thing up. Try JJs from www.eurotubes.com .

          Well, I emailed JJ. He said it was a set bias, eg, it can only take one type of tube, but it will never fall out of bias.. so.. im guessing new tubes is my next attempt.
