Marshall Help!
I seem to be having a problem with my Rivera Chris Duarte amp. I think that it probably just needs new tubes all around. Here is the problem. It is a two channel amp. I seem to be suffering a large volume drop as I play. I think that it happens in both channels. Lately, I have been hearing a sort of octave effect in the clean channel. Sort of like a BOSS octave pedal with very little effect and mostly dry signal. There also is a high pitched "whine" at times. In addition, the seems to be a lack of gain in the high gain channel. Does this sound like tubes to you? If so, is it just preamp, poweramp or both?
