Rougue

I went to fire up my rogue magnum int amp and I heard a small pop, then the only tube that reacted was the V3 tube but it had a purple glow to it and none of the driver or preamp tubes showed any sign of life. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone had this experience in the past??????

Thanks guys, luckily I was able to fix the issue myself. I must have had a bad tube which blew a fuse, so replaced the fuse and had some EL34's that will suffice till I replace them with the KT90's. Back up and running before the weekend has ended!! Awesome!

Jim...did you rebias the tubes? I would check the bias on all the tubes to make sure they are in the recommended range. Glad to hear you are back up and running.

i did rebias the new tubes and am very surprised at their performance despite n
almost half the power.

I also spoke to Rogue and they recommended to try the Goldlion KT77 instead of the KT90's. Yes, less power but more "tubey" sound. I tend to trust these guys as they are always spot on. Anyone tried these tubes?

I blew a powertube awhile back and luckily it didn't do any damage other than the tube. I ended up buying some KT90's from Rogue and satisfied with the sound.
