Are there any mods to the amp and where are you running the preamp gain? Cause if you're running the master at 4, that thing should be ripping your face off. I don't know where you would be able to gig that loud or even hear a drummer for that matter. I have a 2204 w el34's and i can't run the master at even 2 and it's freakin ripping at that setting.
BTW, I have one 2204 with el34's and one with 6550's and the difference isn't as dramatic as one would think. I personally prefer the el34's. But that's just me. Actually you can dial the amps in to sound almost identical.
Thats what i was thinking. My jcm has 34's, and its face melting loud at 3. Thres something else going on here. Just dropped it off at my local fixit tech to check the tubes and bias. Shouldnt be any mods, i know the caps have been replaced with jj caps, but the cicuit is supposed to be stock.
