Hi,
I own Einstein a couple of months now, and I'm very happy with it, I had to replace stock power tubes, because they wore red plating, I ordered a set of SED EL34 and 6550 from Watfod valves, and payd a lot of money , I settle on EL34 I just like them more, I have 6550 for backup.
Lately I started to noticed, that I get somehow harsh or fizzy or buzzing tones on channel 1 mode 2, its really hard to describe, and I hope that I'm not just paranoid about the tone too much.
If I play a chord on channel 1 mode 2 with gain around 10-11 first it sounds OK, at the end when it rings out it sounds "harsh" "fizzy", "fuzzy" for a couple of seconds, and its really noticeable. If I play single notes or open strings one by one I don't hear that.
Its less noticeable if I crank the gain, but its there only not that obvious. The same is with channel 2, but again since there is a lot more gain present its not that obvious.
I usually have the pots set to 12, presence at 1 and deep at 11 o'clock.
Is this caused by preamp tubes? Should I changed them? I don't want to spend the money for preamp tubes if this is not the reason.
The power tubes are OK, checked the bias and its OK.
Thanks for your help.
