I'm assuming that since it's not glowing like all the other tubes it's gone bad. We decided to take a look at the tubes and the power tubes all APPEAR to be good, however the V3 tube in the preamp (12au7) isn't glowing, but also produces no noise when we did the "pencil test" on it. I turned my volume down to half of what I normally play at (4 as opposed to 8 on my 60w 6505 2x12) and he still wasn't audible. For reference "not loud enough" means that even when cranked he wasnt audible over me or our drummer. After a lot of messing with the eq and trying it through 2 different cabs (ampeg svt 2x12 and my cheap hartke 4x10) it still wasnt loud enough. He got it back to our practice space and with the gain AND master both all the way up it just wasn't very loud. He met up with the guy at a halfway point so he didnt get to test it out before buying it. So my bassist ended up buying a used Traynor YBA 200-2 after trying out a YBA 250 at guitar center and falling in love with it.
