Was making a funny whoosh noise when I switched out of standbye

Luckely shop I bought from is only 10mins away and they exchanged :D for new one

And this one sounds even better so valve must have been on way out before

don't think they like me in that shop when I went to try amps...a valveking died, a spidervalve started dying and a fallen angel sounded like a 2 watt amp.....

You may have realised by now i have a tendency to take stuff apart and fiddle with it if its at all possible!!

i was only being silly with the new valve idea - it was the right choice to take it back and change it.

yeah I have the tinkering side ..but not till there out of warranty usually....apart from guitars and pickups

Wez you take a TT apart yet?

I havnt had a play with a TT yet but i took my new matamp little rock apart and checked out what was going on inside before i had even plugged it in - It was nice to see my name inside the cab and on the chassis even if the guy doing the tolexing had spelt it wrong!!

Just as well I liberated the Prosonic from you when I did then?

bad luck there, I have had to send my marshall in, all 100 watts couldn't beat by little squier practice amp set at 4 :D

after a week sounds bad though...

I have been meaning to get my amp serviced for the past 8 months, so it was to be expected

My neighbours don't like me anymore

Between the Prosonic, my 50W JCM 800, a Mesa DC5 that I am looking after and my rack - there is nowhere quiet in my house.

Even the 18W Atomic and 10W Cornell are a bit OTT at home to be fair

yeah they are a bit....my TT can be very loud ...the prosonic..was extreme but loved the cleans and the distortion was to die for
