Hey guys,
I was playing through my Epiphone So-Cal 50 about a month ago and it wasn't sounding right. Had that crackle and distortion that an amp makes when you're shutting it down. I put new tubes in it because I figured it was about time anyway and they were fine for the first 20 minutes of me playing. I didn't use it again until a few days later and now it seems to have the same problem. I notice that one of the tubes glows blue with my strumming.
I modded this amp about 2 years ago. I did the work myself but I was walked through the process by a guy in another forum who pretty much designed the mod for me. Wasn't too much. Swapped some capacitors out and such. So my ability to work in a tube amp is not my concern I just don't know the theories of how to go about diagnosing what the problem would/could be. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Joe
