Tboneous Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Anyone experience a ringing with their DT 50? If I hit a sharp staccato chord, my amp is left ringing. here is no reverb on the amp or on my hd500. I once the ringing (almost feedback) starts, it does not go away even when I turn my guitar volume down. I can even turn down the master volume on the amp and the ringing/feedback volume reduces in sync with the turning of the volume control. when I turn the volume back up, the ringing/feedback grows louder. I change patches the ringing stops until I hit a sharp staccato chord and it starts all over again. thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaubinHood Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Sounds like OP has found a mixture of a tube gone microphonic and tune triggering it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNRage Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I'd try doing the 'pencil' test on your tubes.. You lightly tap the tube with a pencil or your fingernail.. If you hear all kinds of funky noises, you know you have a bad tube. You should hear a slight pinging of the glass and a tapping sound consistent with the pencil tapping the tubes through your connected cab.
