    Hello, as the title describes, suddenly my TM36 started doing those weird squeals, "pop"s, throught the speaker. I also get no output (tested multiple cables).

    On the TSC, one valve flashes a bit more after the others stop indicating "overcurrent"

    its the valve "3 out of 4"

    i tried swapping valve 3 to 4's position and it still shows "overcurrent" on valve 3

    ps: i m using the stock valves


    any suggestions?

    Not sure what's going on with your TM36, but calling customer service seems a good option for a three month old equipment...

    When you say over current on valve 3, what's the status of the leds on the TSC? Your description is unclear.

    ... well i thought about asking whether anything happened to the amp, like moving or taking a hit but decided it was too obvious... lol Rolling Eyes

    Glad it could be fixed with just a tube swap. What did you put in?

    Nice.
    They look quite vintage. Where did you get them?
