Tim	Problems Hi. I was wondering if somebody would be able to help me out or lead me in the right direction. I'm experiencing a few problems with my Tube Amplifier. I own a Woogie 100 Watt Tube Head which is manufactured in my home city Adelaide, Australia. The design is basically a copy of a Mesa/Boogie. One of it's features is that it has a 100W / 60 W selector switch. Every now and then when I'm playing I hear a quick popping noise and then the amp sounds like the ocean with a large amount of fuzz! This happens on both 60 W and 100 W. But, when this happens, if I change wattage from 100 W to 60 W or vice-versa, the noise disappears and I keep playing with no worries. I'm wondering why this is happening. Do I need to buy new tubes. Thanks . Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi.

I was wondering if somebody would be able to help me out or lead me in the right direction.
I'm experiencing a few problems with my Tube Amplifier.

I own a Woogie 100 Watt Tube Head which is manufactured in my home city Adelaide, Australia.
The design is basically a copy of a Mesa/Boogie.
One of it's features is that it has a 100W / 60 W selector switch.
Every now and then when I'm playing I hear a quick popping noise and then the amp sounds like the ocean with a large amount of fuzz!
This happens on both 60 W and 100 W.
But, when this happens, if I change wattage from 100 W to 60 W or vice-versa, the noise disappears and I keep playing with no worries.

I'm wondering why this is happening.
Do I need to buy new tubes.
Thanks .
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
