MikeZ	now a tube blew out... my friend, as i was writing my last post, called to say that last night, while playing on the amp, one of the 6L6Gc's was glowing blue, and then went dark, then a fuse blew, then they smelt a little bit of smoke. he turned the amp off as soon as he noticed the blue glow. we have 48 hours to reurn it to GC. i dont have another 6l6 on hand and i dont want to buy Groove Tubes (thats what was in there, btw). is there a way i can test to make sure the OT is okay? should we return it?
