Always Got To Be Something

It’s always something isn’t it? Recently I spoke to you on the awesome Fender Twin Reverb amp I picked up. I was overly enthusiastic as this amp is highly regarded in the industry. I can’t even begin to name the number of famous artist that use this specific amplifier. But boy these things require a great deal of attention. (read $$)

This Sunday at practice, once that amp got warm it started to sound a bit nasty. I’m hoping it is simply a bad tube, but then again, when your new to this, were do you even start diagnosing the problems right? That’s why once you reach this level of amplification, you have a “guy”. The thing with having a “guy” is they cost money. Some charge $40 to $50 just to even look at it. Others don’t charge anything to diagnose it, but charge $40 an hour plus parts to fix it.

I think I will begin by replacing tubes, then if it still acts up I’ll take it to a “guy”. Wish me luck.
