  1. Hey Mr Rose... I recently bought a Marshall JCM2000 DSL401. I love it, it's a wonderful amp and all but I'm getting a horrible squelch feedback when at high volumes. I'm running a noise gate and even when my guitar's volume is off, the amp squeels on the dirty channel at high volumes. Now, I thought it might be a microphonic tube but I turned her on, let her warm up for a few minutes and tapped lightly on the tubes with a screwdriver handle and non of them made more than a slight ringing noise... If you have any ideas... PLEASE HELP!
  2. Thank you very much Myles. You're the best!
  3. First off, thank you so much. You're a great help and I really apreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. Thank you. Now, I use a Carvin Nomad. 50 watt, 1x12, 5 12AX7s, 4 EL84s. I love the overdrive channel, it's real crunchy and can go from a good, transparent, slight overdrive to full on metal crunch. I really enjoy the dirty channel but the clean breaks up real fast. Even on practice volume (loud, but not painful) it tends to get a little distortion. I was wondering if there were any tubes (I'm not sure if I need better preamp or power amp tubes) that stay a little cleaner but can still get some good crunch.
