Friends good night! next, I have a music man 210-65, when I start him I leave the key of stand by in the position that does not come out sound, I always use it in the LOW, when I turn off the key and increase the sound it is like a overdrive/fuzz sound there after a while time the sound returns to normal and gets clean, would that be a problem? I'm scared because I live in Brazil, getting a technician here is a big problem! thanks for the help. sorry my english! i dont speak!

Don't worry about your English. First off, does your 65 have the 12ax7 driver tube or is it the SS driver? Something is getting warm and then working. First guess is a bad solder joint or dirty tube sockets. Mike.

Thanks! my music man have the 12ax7, I do not know anything about electronics! the most I think I can do is take out the valves and clean, should I do that?
That's a good first step.
That's a good first step. Even just taking them in and out a couple times will sometimes scrape off corrosion. If you don't know anything about electronics, especially tube amps, the voltages inside are EXTREMELY dangerous and shouldn't be attempted by people with no experience. The tube removal and replace won't be a problem because you won't be exposed to any bare wiring. Just make SURE that the tubes are oriented in the socket properly before you try to plug them back in. After that, you should find someone who is comfortable working around 700 volts plus. Also, forgot to mention that you might just plug and unplug the cable into the input jack a few times. A dirty input jack can get weird. Also, does it do it on both channels or just one? Mike.
I'm going to try to move the
I'm going to try to move the valves today, I have not really tried to see other channels today. I'll call you more calmly to analyze. the problem is that in my city there are no technicians specialized in tube amplifiers, only technicians in conventional electronics. I'm afraid to take on one of them and make it worse.

I am totally inexperienced, I do not even know how to make a simple solder.
