New to the forum. I have lots of electronic repair experience just none on amps. I bought a used Carvin Legacy head. I believe it's the original one. It worked well, although the lead channel had very little gain. Clean channel sounded great. I was playing guitar and adjust knobs and it buzzed briefly and stop emitting sound. The head started smoking so I quickly unplugged it. Opened it up and examined the components and there was no visible damage for the amount of smoke produced. I pulled the tube mount board and found a burn mark under the third tube (see included picture.) Removed the socket and the trace burnt the solder mask off. The damage was between pin 2 and 3 on the EL34-R. Which I believe are the heater and anode. Checked the tube and it wasn't shorted. I think the tubes are original.
Any suggestions or hints? I'm guessing it needs new tubes regardless as a few of the power tube labels look slightly burnt.
Help is greatly appreciated.
