Hey folks. I am getting some consistent static when running my Z Plus. It started a few days ago. It goes away completely when I turn down the Cut control on the amp. I am thinking that tube may need replacing. Which tube runs the Cut?
Thanks in advance.

If you are getting static or floaters, I would start thinking power tubes first.

What purple said; as I recall in one or several amp descriptions they explain the cut control something like this, “think of it like a tone control for your power tubes.” But I’m no expert. There are many here more qualified than me. I just play ‘em.

The ZPlus is single ended so no negative feedback. I think Doc said the ZPlus’ cut control is just a hi-pass filter.

What did you discover the problem was, and the solution?
