Hello biggrin.gif

My amp has recently started to sound a bit weird, there's this constant noise when it's turned on, like a constand buzz or something, and I'm trying to figure out what it is.

My first theory is that I need to change the tubes, but I have no idea if that's the case, but I thought I could ask how you know when it's time to do that? And if it's time to do that now, how do I do it? laugh.gif

Anyways, any help will be deeply appreciated, since I'm clueless when it comes to gear.
