Hey guys,
I am new to forums in general but not to tube amps so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, etc. but I need some help.
I bought a brand new 2466 head and matching cabinet about a month ago but haven't really had time to play it until yesterday. I am using a Fender 1962 Reissue Strat with a Fulltone OCD and at first everything sounded amazing but after about an hour or so of playing with everything set on about 5 in the low dynamic setting I noticed that it probably wasn't as loud as it should be so I gradually starting turning up the master volume and nothing really happened. At first I just thought I was going deaf but I remember that I could never stand 4 feet away from my JCM 2000 DSL 50 at anything past 6 without seriously hurting my ears.
I also noticed a serious lack of high end, my Strat sounded muddy and very undefined. Does anyone have any thoughts? The power tubes were glowing a very pretty shade of blue when I looked at them- I figure that they are to blame.
