Myles,
I am having a peculiar noise coming from my amp... HELP!
I purchased my frist tube amp about 5 months ago. It was an Orange AD30. It was brand new, right out of the box. a couple weeks ago i started hearing this loud popping noise when i would turn the amp on and then engage the standby. the popping ceases once my tubes have had a lot of time warming up... however, i dont think that this noise would be a usual result of a tube not having warmed up enough... although i could just be wrong about that, this is my first tube amp afterall...
now... this popping doesnt fluctuate in volume if i turn my amp volume up or down, it stays the same volume. However, when i switch from clean to dirty, the popping becomes dirty... A friend of mine believes it is a bad capacitor, but maybe i just need to replace one of the tubes?
please help!
