Paging MB Guitar Techs: Egnater Tube Amp Issues
Posted on 6/29/20 at 11:42 am

About 6-7 years ago I was gigging pretty heavily and bought an Egnater Tweaker 112 Combo amp/cab. I played it for a good three years then moved and stopped playing electric as much. Fast-forward to now, I am trying to bring it out of retirement. I went to practice last week and the amp sounds really muddy and has a noticeable buzz with the master volume up over 60%. Even with running my guitar straight into the amp with no pedals. I tried replacing all of my preamp tubes but the noise is still there.
Anyone have any other potentials solutions before taking it in? I don't think its the powertubes because there is no volume fluctuation but I have no idea.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Considering the first thing a good tech or service center is going to do is swap ALL tubes to see if the problem persists, I'd change the power tubes. Particularly if you're running EL84s - when I gigged my Soldano Astroverb at 60-70 percent years and years ago, it would go through 84s like a fat kid through cookies.
Regardless of the PT type, fire it up and see if one or more of the PTs are a different color, particularly orange, or void of any internal color. Dead giveaway you have a PT problem.
