Also, and the real reason I'm replying; even with nothing plugged into the amp there is a low level hum. I haven't owned an amp in a very long time and wonder if anyone knows if this normal and acceptable for a tube amp. I don't like it.
a low level hum, especially if the pre and post gain controls are cranked or near cranked will occur in most Tube amps, Its more so intense if there are flourestcent lights in the room I have owned one, of these also as well as the 50 watt version
