just got my hrdlx back from repair as the drive channel stopped working on me.

now when i turn it on there is a farting/crackle, its quite quiet, it sounds like tuning a radio in.

it doesnt get louder when i play through it, it just remains,also 9 times out of ten it stops after about five minutes.

i tried taking my lead out and it still remains..

i dont think its the plate load problem as theres no loss of volume, and its not loud.

i just cant be bothered now, they had my amp a month, and it comes back still rubbish, i really hate this thing now.

anyone know what this could be???
anyone wanna buy a hot rod deluxe?? :cry:

thanks

Could be the speaker. Probably is actually, Doesn't sound like a tube problem.

The stock Eminence Legend is kind of a low end speaker.

I know some people change one of the preamp tubes to smooth out the drive and change out the speaker with pretty good results.
