I'm at my wits end. A couple years ago I bought a used Deluxe Reverb amp, when I purchased it I bought some replacement tubes (in hopes of alleviating any future issues) except for the rectifier tube...I believe. I also purchased a Weber speaker to replace the stock speaker.
I ignored my amp most of last year, because I've noticed a weak and distorted sound. The amp does not sound clean at all, all notes and chords sound like they're running through a distortion or fuzz pedal. Just now I took out every tube one by one (except for the rectifier because i don't have a replacement, and the power tubes I swapped as a pair) to help eliminate the source, but each time I did not notice a difference or improvement in sound. Could it possibly be the speaker? Would it be the rectifier tube? Or could it be worse?
