Hi! I forgot to say sorry to everyone, about the fact I did not come here for a long time, but I’ve been really busy and had internet provider problems too.
Here my problem… Some weeks ago my Fender Bandmaster (blackface, born ’64) started makink some noises when idle. They seemed random low-frequency growls, somehow. Anyway, after some time they got more and more loud, and less rare. last time I switched it on, after 20 minutes these noises became continuous and pretty loud too. Swithced it off, to avoid any kind of damage.
Now: I think that the power valves could be dead, at least one of them, even if they did not seem to produce strange colours or else. Has anyone an idea of what it could be? Keep in mind that condensers are still original. I do not know if these noises are due to dead valves, dead condensers, maybe a dead resistor…..
Thanks for your help!
