Few months ago I bought a Fender Jr. Blues Combo tube amp. Sounds great and had really good tones.
Well this weekend friend of mine was over and jamming than my amp started popping sound. At first I thought it was my cable, but than i took out all the cables but the amp still had that popping sound. Later I pull out the tubes and put them back. Next morning the popping sound went away and my amp return back to normal. But then few days later until now, the amp sounds really horrible, any time I turned up some bass but it has this really fuzzy and sounds really distorted and muddy.
For me this is my first tube amp so I assume it's either the speaker (but I don't even blast my amp that loud) or it's the tube...but my amp is brand new. My friend said it could be the tube. I took it back to Sam Ash where i bought it, but they were no help at all and said that just the way the amp sound, plus their warranty suck, I would never buy anything form them again if i get warranty.

So now wondering if you guys ran into this problem. Should I replace my tubes?

Hi

is this a 1 preamp tube, 1 power tube amp?
have you tried replacing the preamp tube with a known good one, or a new one ?
i assume it uses a 12ax7....if so they are easy to find,and cheap.

that would be a good place to start.
