Not sure if this is a problem, or a quirk of circuit design. Hoping someone on this board will know from experience, or have something I can test to confirm whether it's worth paying for bench time, or just a component/part i can swap out.
Amp is a 90s R212R with new power amp tubes (GT6L6s, rated 7). On the clean channel, the amp produces no audible sound until the volume knob is at or over 2. And, from 2-3.5, if I really dig in with a pick on a guitar with fairly high output pickups, what I get is a mushy, unmusical distortion. Sounds a little thin, but otherwise fine, with a normal attack. At 4 and above, everything seems to function and sound like I'd expect a tube amp would.
Wouldn't mind if the sound was a little better at lower volumes, but, it's a gigging amp, and at those volume levels, it suits me just fine.
