• The effects loop is active and set to
connected.
• The anode fuse has blown. Ensure that it is replaced with a fuse of
the same rating.
• The fuse for the tube heating tripped (the tubes don't glow). Ensure
that it is replaced with a fuse bearing the same rating.
The amp makes ringing noises
when played and tends to Feedback.
• One or several tubes are microphonic. Replace the defective tube
with another of the same type.
Signs of tube wear such as increased microphonics and
noise, Treble loss, weak power output or muddy sound
begin reappearing just a few hours after replacing tubes.
• The wrong tubes were installed when old tubes were replaced or
the amp was not biased properly. Take the amp to a professional to
correct the problem.
The sound is washed out or muddy when you switch an
effects processor on.
• The signal processor provides a wet signal that is blended with
the dry or original signal. Depending on the type of effect, the
processor may be returning a dry signal back along with wet signal,
which causes phase cancellations when mixed to the dry signal in
Switchblade's Parallel loop. To prevent this, set the effects loop
to
SERIAL
or turn the dry signal all the way down on the signal
processor.
