Hi Biker. welcome here, hope we can help. I would never say use the Redbox to someone who knows they prefer a live sound, I'm the same myself. I have a TM36 and a GM36 and I can't ever remember using it on either.
Let's rule out something obvious first. Just swap the two preamp valves and see if the nature of the noise changes. If it does then you need a replacement preamp valve. Nothing exotic, just solid. There is a great thread on valve swaps on the GM36 forum. Look from about Page#5, post#122.
TSC only reports on the output valves, the preamp ones are always fixed bias and don't need any adjusting. If your amp is still under warranty and you are not aware of the correct opening procedure to keep the warranty void pads intact, let us know and we'll talk you through it.
