Hi everyone!,

Ok here is my prob:

I have a Fender Champ 12 and when I used to palm mute it sounded nice and tight when it was giving out bass, now when i palm mute on the lower frets the speaker rattles like its blown. The overall quality also sounds alot different! My question is it my speaker or is it the tube that needs to be replaced? I have looked at the back of the speaker and it looks ok from the back so far, im still trying to figure out how to get it out of there to check the front =)(its a 12 inch speaker in this small box with alot of stuf in the way of getting to all the screws and pulling it out)! here are two pictures of the tube what do you guys think? (How do you know when a tube goes bad?) You can click on them and enlarge them: http://community.webshots.com/album/33179732hvCcjI im not sure if those help or not but thanks in advance!

-Erik
