I have a Traynor YCV40WR and recently I have noticed a white noise hiss on the clean channel. No guitar was plugged in. Click over to the drive channel and the noise is gone. I have tried more than one electrical outlet, and the noise is still present on the clean channel.
Is this a tube issue? I have never changed tubes. The first 3 years I owned it, there was very minimal playing on it. The last couple of years has maybe 3-6 hours per week playing time.
Is it time for a change or should I look elsewhere for the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Yes , try some new good tubes.

Start to remove one 12XX7 tube ,( power amp OFF ) start by the one far from the output tubes .Power amp ON , listen if amp is quiet . If quiet try a new tube. Tube may be noisy or it is tube's circuit .

If not , remove the second one .........
