Hello,
i recently built a SE Princeton aka Champ Reverb Amp. It worked finde for a while but since a few weeks i have a strange whining/squishing noise (sound sample attached) when the amp is at idle. None of the controls affects the (quite low volume) noise and the amp functions normally apart from that noise. I tried pulling the preamp tubes one after another and after i pulled all three the noise is gone. When i pulled V3 and the noise stopped, i replaced V3 with V1 (so a different tube) and the noise was present again. So i doubt it is a preamp tube related problem.I tried chopsticking the amp around V3 and even rearranged some wires without any success.
As i said the amp is quite new and so are the components (Filter Caps (F&T) etc.).
I also atteched the schematic and a sound sample.
Any help i highly appreciated.
