Well guys, there were two preamp tubes making noise and thanks to the Engl people in grand old Der Fatherland I was able to replace them both with the tubes supplied with the amp when I bought it. Fired it up and it sounds metal as fuck once again! No buzz. Thank you guys so much for your help...

That's the one. I've got an engl preamp tube and a Groove tube I can replace with. Do I just start swapping tubes to see if it goes away? Should i re-tube the whole thing?

Alright guys, here's the problem. What do you think? 20120411 141800 by helephant on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free

Thanks dude. I'll test that out. You guys are awesome for helping me out. I love this board. Low percentage of D-bags.

More so at higher volumes it seems. I wonder if jostling it while moving it from cab to cab adjusted a loose tube or something. It seems to be more prevalent the more I boost the low end, but it's so subtle I might be imagining it.

Nope. Ran straight in with a high quality Lava cable. This thing seems to come and go. I'll see if I can record it tonight. Thanks for the help guys. I wouldn't have been surprised though. My roommate likes running a few pedals in front of it and how I put up with a Metal Zone in front of an...

Well, it's definitely not coming from a guitar. Tested it with a Tele, the Tempest, and a Schecter Blackjack tuned to B. It's present across the board. I cranked the gain all the way on the clean channel but couldn't get it to kick in, but it's there for sure on the lead. I also played with the...

It's sounds like a grinding buzz. I'm going to do some guitar swapping and try cranking the gain on the clean channel to see what happens. As far as wiring in the house, I'm in a small ex-mining town in the Purcell Mountains and almost all the houses here are 65+ year old pre-fab junk that...

I usually play a Schecter Tempest through it, but I spend a lot of time playing drums while my guitarist plays my Telecaster through it. You think it could be the guitar? It seems pretty loud.

This thing is pretty cool. One of my friends swears by it.

I went on the online quest for a decent fuzz and it's an ugly one. The market is saturated with fuzz pedals of various levels of quality and monetary value. The best ones I came across as far as sound vs cost were from a company called Plum Crazy FX. They sound vintage enough to be rocking fuzz...

Hey guys. I've encountered a problem with my amp and I'm wondering if any of you guys have advice or technical knowledge you'd be willing to impart. Just to get it out of the way, I live in a small mountain town in Canada and money is an issue so sending my amp to a qualified Engl tech isn't in...

I'm going to order in a 6 pack of Carbon Max's and give them another whirl. It would appear I didn't give them enough time based on what you guys think. I'm drooling over that Petrucci pick though. Can't wait to try that.

I'll admit I didn't hack away with the MG Carbon for all that long. Being primarily a drummer I don't spent long periods of time on stage playing guitar like I do drums and bass. I definitely practice more with guitar, but everyone I know plays so I end up getting gigs on other instruments. I...

Bored at work and I just got some variants of the Dunlop Jazz III in so here we go. I posted this on my facebook so I'm just going to copy and paste. Just did a Jazz III pick shootout in the store. Standard Jazz III Nylon vs Pitch Black 1.14mm Tortex vs Jazz III Ultex vs Jazz 2.0 Ultex...

Well, I fucked up and tried the Pro grip Pro mark sticks I mentioned and I'm sold. They are without a doubt the best grip stick I've seen yet.

Having spent many years working in music stores I've played pretty much every size, shape and brand out there and I settled on Promark 5A nylons in their 'natural' finish. I don't know if it's the way I play but after 8+ years with them I've never broken a tip. Something that happened with every...

Agreed, but I'm going to go with something even lower end. I've got my eye on the Raiden Custom 4. Schecter makes tough, dependable stuff so I'm going to get something cheap I can beat the hell out of.

Fender and Schecter. I've never played a Warwick though.

As a music store employee, I'm getting a pretty good deal on the rig. I'm also playing bass in a gigging band that plays much softer material, so I'm not really regretting the 1x15 but thanks for the heads up. I'm surprised it's going to get buried though. I wish I had seen this before I ordered...
