[QUOTE="csweldon, post: 82405, member: 2723"] I took my RM20 out for it's inaugural gig last Saturday night, and it performed like a CHAMP! (not the amp, Champ, but like a champion haha) 3 hours of music, running fairly loudly. It really sat well in the mix and it had edge without being fully distorted - pretty much exactly what I was hoping it would do 8) A few busy days later and I was able to fire her up again. Switched on, let the tubes warm up, dig into the strings and... Wait, that's not right; it was making almost static noises, a couple popping noises. It's bass response was dramatically lower than before, and if I hit the low strings hard it kinda had a short pop/burst of sound, and then would decay with little sustain. I could still get it fairly loud, and the high notes could still ring out. It's almost like it's been neutered, if you know what I mean. My limited experience with tube amps tells me that it's probably preamp tube related, and I have a fresh set on the way to go in. It was a used amp, so it's not unreasonable to think they could be ready for a change. Still, I'm compulsive and need to investigate while I eagerly await my new hot bottles of ROCK. So, I guess what I'd like to know is - have any of you ever experienced this? If so, how did you solve it? Any insight any of you have would be truly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
