So, last night my new tubes arrived for my BJr, and I decided to put them in this morning. However, when I put in the tubes, I couldn't get any sound from the amplifier, unless I cranked it all the way (volume and master at 12), and then it's just a barely perceptible sound.

the tubes are 2 Jan Phillips 5751s, 1EHX 12AY7, and 2 Gold Lion el84s.

Just a bad tube or few tubes right? Well here's the kicker: I put in the old tubes again and I have the same problem, no fix.

Yes, I'm planning on calling Fender customer support later, but I can't right now, so if any of you have an idea of what's wrong, could you tell me?

Thanks in advance.

Make sure all tubes are seated correctly and fully. Make sure while replacing the tubes that you did not partially pull out the speaker cable.

Question for you. Why did you go with that selection of tubes?

I wanted a cleaner, somewhat quieter amp. I checked the speaker cable, it's in there fine. I've been trying to push them in as far as they can, but nothing. I can still see a millimeter or so of pin on most of them, could that be the problem, or is that normal?
