Hi Tim, I will be changing the caps soon, since the lead channel is humming some, especially when you play more through it. I attached a good cap across the suspected cap and it helped a lot, but the fuzziness might be do to the old driver circuit. I was informed that the update or latest revision took care of that problem too, so its probably good to do the caps as well. I am looking into some kind of standby circuit for these amps so we can use the same power switch hole, but a 3-way switch that when in the middle or bottom position, its off, up one, standby, all the way up operate. I dont know why they did not build them with a standby switch, to prolong the life of the tubes. Oh yes I will try some NOS 6L6 and see if that helps too.
thanks!
Ed
