Hi all,
Hoping you can help with a quick question. I have a 2007(?) Hot Rod Deville 2x12. Used to work great, but lately the Drive Channel is super distorted. Even with the Drive pot at 2 it is incredibly distorted. I swapped the V2 12AX7 with a new one, but that didn't do anything. Checked the bias on the power tubes; it was a little high so I adjusted, but that didn't do anything either. The clean channel is still super loud and clean, so I think the power tubes are fine, right?
Would appreciate any advice.

Power tubes are ok if clean channel work good . Are you sure ?

The only circuit use for Overdrive are V2 , Q11, Q12 solid state transistors and all parts around V2 , resistors and capacitor.

If you do not have skill in electronic you should see a qualified amp tech
