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.
It isn't a super high gain amp. It does have a decent amount of gain, but it won't do the saturated gain thing. I use a tubescreamer or something like that with mine when I use a Strat to punch up the drive.
