Hey, I figured this would be the best place for this thread. Basically, The smaller front tube on my darkvoice 336i is giving a sparking effect that can only be seen from the back, luckily I saw the reflection off of the back bigger tube. Basically part of the backside of the tube flickers. Also, even when the amp is off, the same flickering is happening.


edit: I mean the amp is off as in the powerswitch, not the plug.

2nd edit: Is it safe to use? I don't really hear an effect in sound.

I edited my first post to make my question more clear. I don't have any other tubes, is the problem with the amp or with the tubes? could it be with the amp since there is flickering when its switched off?

Oh my god, turns out the flickering was just my lan port light flickering. I thought the reflecion was coming from the back of the front tube but never bothered to actually check the back of the tube. Well, thanks anyway everyone. I was also getting a reflection fromt the front tube but looked like it was coming from the back so I just went ahead and assumed.

Sometimes I can't find mine, or at least I think I can't find them when all along I'm wearing them. I guess I need a new pair too
