Grateful Dead Music Forum

Been a while since I posted here!

Anyways just recently my amp started makin a pop like the sound of a cable being loose and moving around but its not any of the cables. I took all my pedals out of the chain and everything. Hopefully you guys can tell me its just an easy do-it-yourself fix! Thanks in advance

Haven't been around here for awhile, so hello all

It happens with the devilles when you play at quieter volumes (and switching channels) I had/have the same problem but I just dont play quietly anymore..

Hope this helps, cuz if its a generic amp issue i'm not too knowledgeable there

Loud or quiet it does it

When I was researching the Deluxe and Deville lines, one thing that kept coming up was the input jacks being of substandard quality...

I've got an HRD, and had a similar issue. Turned out that a few of the tubes had gone caput. My advice: find a reputable amp repair shop in your area, and take it in to them. Even if it's something as simple as new tubes, the HRD's need to be re-biased when the tubes are replaced, so unless you know what you are doing, it's easier to just take it somewhere. I had new sovtek's put in mine for < $100.

Also, check this site, which is THE site for HRD's ... More info here than you could ever imagine.
