i just started getting a strange sound like a twelve string from my maz 38 nr..... does anyone know if that could be bad tube or microphonic tube or ? i asked miles on the experts area... thought that maybe there was some local knowledge in the area ?

Sounds like a pre amp going to me . Try the tap test or if you have a spare switch one at a time .

good news........ ist i changed out the pre-amp tubes one at a time then all three at once thought that it was getting better but 2 minutes later the same thing........after talking to the man i took it to a local guy who does repair for emerald city guitars.... solderhaus amps and repair........when he opened it up there was the culprit.............. one of the sprague filter caps had a broked lead coming out of one end... about an 1/8th inch from the end.... so......... he repaced the cap with the same new and checked all the other connections and wala life breathes again from the root of most of my senior moments ;D...... it sure looked nice in there, the 1st time that i looked in there.... I almost had to pry it back out of the amp tech's hand he was lost in what he deemed voxland......
thanks to the dr for allowing me not to ship it back.....i am so leery of ups ..... and all the usual suspects in the shipping field... not to mention time lost... like sending your kid to summer camp.... jaamz2
