After taking it in to a Line 6 authorized repair place it turned out to be the power supply connector to the digital board was heating up and failed. The tech informed me this also happens to the DT50 as well. He also confirmed the need for the EHX tubes based on the way the digital board interacts with the power section of the amp. If you are looking for a backup set the EHX mid duet is the specific ones needed. Going forward I won't be trying to bias myself after hearing about the intensive burn in protocol for new tubes.
I have to say after fixing it and the new tubes it sounds better than it ever has...
Hope this helps!
