Amp Sorrows

[Psyre]

My practice space flooded about a week ago, luxkily everything of value was off the ground, but when I plugged into my Super Reverb tonight it would intermittently crackle and pop, so I am certain moisture got into a capacitor/capacitors. Also my bassman is giving me a loud steady hum, is that also a capacitor issue?? I swapped tubes out of both of them to no avail.

maybe like v1 problems on the super or plate resistors a go go?

[Psyre]

v1 is pulled atcually, to give the vibrato channel more power, replacing v2 didnt help either. What do you mean by plate resistors?

Tube amps do not do well in wet basements. Cabinets, speakers, paper-fiber circuit boards, capacitors, and transformers can all do the worse for the humidity. Never mind the electrical safety hazards, which have led to deaths of some famous-ish musicians over the years. Drying out the amps may help things, but you might need tech to go thru them.
