Picked up a used excellent condition Diezel VH2 last year and I love it. But I started having an issue when switching to the clean channel. There would be a volume drop and occasional static and crackling coming from the clean channel. If I played with the gain it would come back. Last fall I contacted Diezel and they directed me to BAD. BAD sent me out a full set of JJ ECC83S on them which I really appreciated. But today the same issue came back with the clean channel. Volume drop when switching to it, and when the volume comes back, occasional static and crackling. The usual signs of a bad preamp tube. Everything else on the amp sounds fantastic. Since it's happened so close together in time would you suggest having an amp tech look at it? Or sending it to BAD? Or trying some of my own sourced preamp tubes to see if that fixes the problem? I know several people online have seemed to have trouble with the reliability of JJ tubes.
