Hey guys, just bought and changed the preamp tube of my Champ 600. After taking the 6v6 out and replacing it, it gets burning hot after a few minutes, as the new 12ax7 does not. Do you other Champ owners have this too? Or is my tube burning up for some reason?

In my experience with tube amps in general is that power tubes get extremely hot, while preamp tubes just et warm to somewhat hot. I have no experience with that amp though. I hope this helps
