I have a Fender Tremolux made in 1966. It sounds amazing, and everything has been working great so far. I had some problems with blown fuses because of surges in my building, but I got a surge protector and its been working fine with no serious complications whatsoever. The one question is have is about the standby mode:
Should there be a loud 'CRACK' when I switch back from powering the tubes to stand-by before turning the amp off. It seems the longer I play, or the hotter the tubes are, this crack is louder.
I haven't had any tube amps prior to this. Is this a normal thing? Or does the loud crack signify that there could be some problem?
Thanks again anything else you can tell me is appreciated.
I'm also wondering what the function of my GROUND switch is.
It is not uncommon for an older amp to make noises when switching to and from standby. It could be a slight biasing problem with one of the tubes. You can take it in to a good tube amp repair facility. (check with your local music stores and see who they recommend) Let the shop check it over. They might suggest some re biasing or even replacing a tube. It is better to do this sooner than later to avoid any possible complications.
The ground switch is used to essentially "reverse the polarity" of the grounding configuration, so to speak. If you are playing in a place that has a noisy AC line, i.e. fluorescent lighting, AC motor noise, etc., flipping the ground reverse can sometimes remedy this problem. If you are using a dedicated surge protector with line filtering (not just a power strip) this should not be a problem. NEVER use a ground lift adaptor (3 prong to 2 prong) it can be dangerous.
