Hi sixstring12887,

Sounds like maybe the output tubes need replaced. Be sure to check the bias also, especially after changing output tubes. :idea:

It might also be worth it to check the phase inverter for transconductance.

Hi sixstring, Welcome to the forums, +1 on the previous comments. At the risk of sounding stupid, if its new... take it back
