Amp help!!!!

Josh Davis · June 17th, 2007, 11:56 PM

I have a 69 Twin Reverb that sounds great. The other day I noticed a burning smell and looked in the back and saw my tubes were glowing purple they were so hot. Amp still sounded fine and worked well, although it had a buzz to it.
The Problem: My amp guy has moved. Any recomendations in the DFW area?
Thanks in advance,Josh

Craigs Music over in Weatherford is real good.

Ouch. Yeah, don't fire it up again until you've got it to a repair guy, for sure.

A '69? It'll definitely need some maintenance (maybe some electrlytic caps went south on you out of old age, or perhaps even new tubes).

Learn about safety before building/repairing/modding an amp. When in doubt, take it to a shop. Never drink yellow snow. Have fun.
