I've had my Minimax built for more than a year, and it's been working great for the most part. A few recent problems that I'd like to look into though.
1. One of my tube lights does not come on very often; sometimes it comes on only after the amp has been on for a while. Very intermittent-I suppose I should order another LED? I've already tried reflowing the solder on that LED.
2. When I have my 12AE6 tubes in, the left channel has a hum, quieted by cupping anything over that tube. This is not present with the 12FK6 tubes. I'm guessing one of my 12AE6 tubes is bad?
3. When I turn the amp off, the last split second the output has power, there is a harsh static right before it turns off. I'm not sure what exactly what would be causing this.
Thanks!
