I have one power tube (6L6GC) that isn't powering up. I noticed a power drop in the amp, so replaced tubes and still "no light" (power) the circuit. I assume that even though three tubes are powered, I'm only getting half the output, or less of the amp. Before I take it to my amp tach, what is the issue? Any ideas are beyond welcomed. Thanks in advance!

Have you tensioned the sockets?
If you swap tubes between sockets, does the fault follow the tube, or stay in that socket?
Fortunately things not working at all are easier to find than things not working right

| Thanks Lane! I guess "new" tube doesn't mean it works! I assumed I had a problem with the amp. Thankfully, just a bad tube! |
