Motor-boating Tubes
When I turn my amp on, it sounds like their is a motor boat inside. I don't know if there is a technical term for this. I don't know where to start looking. My dad is a technician and he says that its probably the tubes. Is he right?

Yeah, there is a technical term for it.
"Stupid ******* piece of ****! *****! ****** *** *******!"
or something like that.
I dunno, I've never had that happen, but most of my experience has been with solid state so it very well could be something with or around the tubes.

I turned the amp off, and came back after about 30 minutes. Now its not doing it anymore? I like that technical name,

"MOTORBOATING"
Excessive feedback in an audio amplifier can result in a fluttering or popping sound that resembles the sound of a motorboat. This oscilation is caused by undesirable coupling between the output and the input of an amplifier or chain of amplifiers. It can also occur as a result of capacitive or inductive coupling in the wiring or be caused by the power supply. Because of the characteristic sound, this low-frequency oscilation is called motorboating.
This isn't the kind of feedback that made Jimi Hendrix famous. It may be that some of the point-to-point wiring in your amp is 'sharing' in ways that are not good for your sound.
