and im guessing my tube situation is what's making the tone the way it is now. The two closest to the input are glowing brightly at the top and bottom. The next one is glowing just as bright at the top but noticably dim at the other end. The last one is the non GE tube and the top is dim and the bottom can barely be seen. The weird thing is that when i switch standby the third one with the bright top and dim bottom is the only one not turning purple.
