Hi,
I picked up a Rt. 66 at a great price on eBay and waited excitedly for 2 weeks to get it. I was really excited when it arrived today but I'm wondering if there's something wrong.
When I play there's a buzzy distortion sound underneath the notes. It does this with the tone controls and volume low but it gets a LOT worse as I turn the bass and treble controls up. With everything dimed it's a really nasty buzzy distortion
Just to clarify, this is a nasty buzzy distortion, NOT the kind of distortion we guitarists like. Could this be a tube problem?
Best, Dan

I had a Marshall once with a blown screen grid resistor that sounded like that. A speaker with a dragging voice coil would sound a bit like that too.

The Marshall I had kept working the rest of the night, it just had this trashy fizz going on in the background. That was a 1980s 1987X reissue. It only had 1/4 watt resistors! They all got changed out after that. Great sounding head!
