I'm using my pod with my 4212 Tourmaster & its been working fine until lately, I plug my guitar into the pod, out of the pod to effects return of the 4212, was working great, now sometimes it works and sometimes it doesent or it cuts in and out.
but, pluging into the amp normaly everything is working fine, any help would be great, could this be a tube problem, it has the groovetubes in it.
Thanks
Craig
 
Hey Craig,welcome to the club!My first suggestion would be a tube.Not sure which one but there's only about 4 12ax7s in there.
 
There are 8 pre amp tubes in the Tourmaster. V1 is the first one from the back of the amp then V3 and then V2..they then move to your left 4,5,6,7,8. V7 is the effects send buffer and effects return mixer...check it first.
 
Thanks guys for the welcome & sugestions, I've only had the amp a couple of weeks so I've been doing a lot tweeking, but I love the amp.
I dont have a lot of experence with messing with tube amps so I'm not quite sure what to do . I know the amp is under warranty, will I void the warrenty if I mess around with it? also I'm only a half hour away from the 12 mile rd. shop
Thanks for your help !

If it is a tube issue which I will be suprised if it is not, is not a problem for you to change out the pre amp tubes. If you feel better about it please bring it to our shop on Tuesday and I will tech it for you!
 
Thank you so much Jeff, I'll do that.
See ya tuesday in berkley.
Thanks
Craig
the other reason I wanted to bring it in was that the power light blinks, I'm sure I could change out the tubes, but, I would just feel better if the amp was looked over to make sure there are no other issues, thanks

I can't wait until tomorrow. I get my Tourmaster 4100 from GC :). I was in Las Vegas last week, and went to the GC there, and tried a combo out. I ran the combo into the head. Holy sheot, does that amp rip!
