Dang, all I have at the moment is the set of EH KT88s and a set of Groove Tubes KT66s. You think the 66s would be a better choice until I can fork out the dough for a quartet of 6L6s? I used this set of 66s a while before I was given the KT88s and had no problems. I also have a quartet of GE 6550s but they're in my stereo and I don't want to risk them in the Ampeg.
I'll try clipping the flyback diodes after work and keep you posted.
I couldn't wait for after work. I clipped out the diodes and it works! I would've thought this problem would've caused a complete failure, not something as complex as my issue. Thanks for the tip.
Something odd is still going on though. The low channel is awesome again, but the high channel isn't super loud. Sounds like the volume is set on 4 or 5. But when I turn on the Ultra High switch it gets MUCH louder. I'm going to clean the switches. Any other ideas?
