I have a 2002 Hot Rod Deluxe amp I bought used in what looked like real good condition. The had not been played much in about 2 yrs. It has been playing good for me until the other day. I was playing at low volume and then all of a sudden this harsh distorted noise started going on. I do not know when was the last time the tubes had been changed. I do know the amp has the standard fender tubes in it. Could it be the tubes or a tube causeing this? The only way I can get tubes is to order them on line.
Any store that sells them are pretty far away. I would like to hear some feed back on what you guys think before I spend the money on tubes I might not need.
ANY advice or help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Ron

Ron... It sounds like a preamp tube. Is the noise there always? iF so, pull the preamp tubes V1, V2, and V3 out one at a time and see when the noise stops. If it doesnt stop, it beyond the phase inverter and could possibly be and output tube.

Also check the connections going into your reverb tank.

Check your input jack.

You can also pull the tubes one at a time and re-insert them. Could be a poor contact. This is only as temp fix though...

...you can get a can of DEOXIT contact cleaner from radio shack and spray it in the tube sockets and work the tubes in and out a few times. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU KNOW HOW TO PULL THE CHASSIS AND DISCHARGE THE FILTER CAPS. LIQUIDS AND RESIDUAL HIGH VOLTAGE WILL BE A BAD THING. LET IT DRY GOOD, REALLY GOOD, BEFORE POWERING BACK UP.

Be Safe...

Mike
