New TH30 question
Posted: Sun Jan 03, 2021 7:51 pm
Hi everyone, it’s been awhile since I’ve been on here
Recently I finally picked up a Orange TH30 and I say finally as I’ve been wanting one for a long while lol. So I found a 2019 used in mint condition with factory inspection tags still attached lol. It looks brand new from factory, no scratches, dings or nothing. It sounds beautiful and I love it. It compliments my PRS Archon and other gear as well.
Anyways my question is when I went to check out the JJ EL84 power tubes I noticed two of the four had lost 80% of their red logo paint look but instead now look like a tan color. So the red JJ brand stamping is no longer red but tan colored. Amp works perfectly fine, no issues at all. The two tubes that have red still were on left side and the two faded tubes were on the right side. I assume sometimes tubes do loose emblem paint color and that this can be normal but I thought I’d ask others here.
I have ordered all new EL84 power tubes and all new 12ax7 + 12at7 pre amp tubes to give it a fresh new start. Is it wise to replace fuses as well, I assume they are perfectly fine as the amp works just perfect.
