every time i turn off the amp, for a few minutes after i can hear this ticking/trickling noise. reminds of a fridge. is that just the tubes cooling down?

i was just reading this and i didn't mean 7 o clock (that would be completely off) but 7 / 10 which is about 2 o clock.DBS wrote:i have it set to about 7 o clock. i also found that even if you have a really basic 'metal' set-up on the eq (high gain / bass / treble, low mids) the presence and resonance settings can be employed to drastically alter the kind of tone you want. fucking with those alone will give you plenty of options.Dawdy wrote:im just going for a metal sound. more specifically, just regular shit like metallica. whats your opinion on the texture setting? do you just leave yours full blast?DBS wrote:i don't know what you're looking for, but it took me a long time to find a tone i was happy with. and because i play lots of different styles i end up changing my settings almost daily. if you play metal, the crunch that you get out of the amp will change depending on how loud the amp is. i know this might seem obvious but with the valveking it seemed particularly evident. the louder you go, the crisper the crunch.Dawdy wrote:hey im looking for a good starting point here. i could play around with all the settings for an hour. gimme your settings! more importantly, the texture dial on the back. i dont really understand the tube shitDBS wrote:hk was suggesting the valveking combo. i have the half-stack and would recommend it
Pour two cups of cold water over the tubes after jamming. That will fix it.Dawdy wrote:every time i turn off the amp, for a few minutes after i can hear this ticking/trickling noise. reminds of a fridge. is that just the tubes cooling down?
