Title: Raspy sound from OTS
Post by: Sam Slick on March 15, 2013, 06:29:21 PM
Greetings,

My OTS (built from a kit) has developed a raspy tone.  If I pluck a guitar string lightly, I get little or no sound and it is fizzy sounding.  If I pluck it harder it sounds raspy - as if the sound is cutting out. 

The mid-boost switch doesn't seem to do anything and I tried resoldering the connections with no effect but this is more than likely an unrelated problem. 

I have access to an ocilliscope through a friend but do not own one.

Any idears on where to start troubleshooting?  Any expected voltages or other testing info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

i'd start by swapping tubes out.
