Platefire, I'll let you know what the problem was when I know.
My transtubes are a 1999 60 Watt Studio Pro with a 12" speaker and a 2005 Rage 15 watt with 8" speaker.
The Studio Pro is a great amp. I'm a singer that mostly plays rhythm, and I have no trouble finding a great clean tone for chords, plus switching channels and pushing it just a little you get a very nice little crunch that doesn't break up or get noisy with chords. At 60 watts and only about 30 pounds it's an easy choice for taking to weekend jams or blues night at the downtown blues bar. It's not the amp the Delta Blues is, but it doesn't sound all "solid state trebly" at all, and I get a lot of comments about it. I've even had a couple of shredders plug into it and turn up the nasty and crank out some respectable metal sound (I actually had to ask each one twice if I could have it back).
The rage is actually the second one I had (the first was an older one without the transtube). I got this one by accident sort of, part of a trade, and I fully intended to sell it after the deal. Then I tried it, and discovered it's way better than it's predecessor. It delivers the same positive traits as the larger Studio Pro, but in a practice size. My son uses it a lot, and frankly I would too if I didn't have the 25 watt Fender Frontman (I gotta have my touch of reverb).
