Thanks guys appriciate the advice. Just one last quetion.
How do you double check to make sure the tube is out(it shouldn't light up right?) See i'm only guessing its the tube cause my clean channel is the only one that works and when i switch over to my lead channel i hear a big pop in the speakers and no sound.
THanks for all the adivice
Yes if the tube is working, it should light up when the power is on.
While it is true that if a tube is working it will light up, a tube that is not working may very well light up as well. The lighting up part is the heater circuit, and the amplification circuit(s) are completely isolated from the heater.
Thanks alot guys. I appriciate the addvice.
But, Demented how serious would it be if it was coupling caps. would it be an easy fix like replacing a tube? and how would i know for sure?
Thanks again guys you really helped.
Off topic here. If I could help I would. But I have a question.ITs a peavey Valve King.
ITs a peavey Valve King. It is the head and its been a great amp head just ran into this problem at practice.
I do admit that i do not wait for the tubes to warm up for 5 min till i hit the standbye switch all the time. That may have taken affect what happened might of not. but i'm still trying to figure out if thats the problem the more i read on coupling caps the more i think thats what is wrong with the amp. because all my tubes do light up and my clean channel is a bit muddy with gain it seems.
Last question.
Should i still switch the lead pre amp tube with another 12ax7 pre amp tube to see what happens. and is there anyway to tell for sure if it is the coupling caps?
Again thanks
