OK, So this is my first tube amp ever and complete noob with one so please bare with me. It's a Peavey Duel 2x12 if anybody is familiar with this model.
So at first it was intermittently getting very crackingly/static after about 30 minutes or so. Even just plugged in and left alone it would start making that noise. This would come and go. Now when I plug in play the volume has been dropping off and on constantly. I tried a different guitar cable, and used different guitars and still have the same issue. So I'm guessing I need new tubes, but before I do that is there something I should also be looking out for or test before possibly needlessly changing tubes?
