Hey Guys,
I recently purchased an ampeg superrocket. The guy I bought it from acknowledged some issues and I got it shipped over. I took it to a repair shop and they put in some new tubes and rebiased them.
The problems:
It may just be the nature of the amp, but there is a lot of noise. It seems that there is quite a bit of 60-cycle hum. This may be the cause of the next problem,
when the tremolo is turned on, it creates high volume thumping with each amplitude cycle.
Is this normal, or do I have issues? I'm just not used to tube amps and may just have to adjust.
Thanks!
