Help!

my amp is doing something weird, or atleast something its never done before. It used to have smoothe sustain, but now its making this woofy kinda noise, like woowoowoowoowoo. I can e-mail you a sound clip if you need a better description, but, whats wrong with my amp? please tell me its the speaker, i was gonna replace that anyways. Or is the battery in my distortion pedal just probably dieing?

Re: Help!

oh, i also got bigger gauged strings & haven't reset the action yet, could that be the problem?

Re: Help!

I don't think it's the strings. Turn your amp on and tap the tubes lightly.

I would turn off any electrical appliances that are near (TV etc..) & plug directly into the amp. move your guitar different distances from the amp & see if it still occurs. If so, I would guess a tube is on it's way out.

Re: Help!

It might be "motorboating," which is a cap issue.
