[QUOTE="Jaded Faith, post: 150844, member: 1068"] Having the amp set at 4 ohms into a 16 ohm load is a safe mismatch and the amp will actually run a little cooler. That wasn't the cause of your issues. My guess is the tube in question failed and took out it's screen resistor. That socket is red plating because it can't bias the tube in it. Unless you are very handy, it a job for a tech to diagnose and repair. Check out my Facebook posts two days ago for a Fender Hot Rod Deville that the owner kept using with this very issue. Scorched the earth and nearly burned clear through the PCB. [/QUOTE]
