Patch cable good? The right kind (not a power cable)?

Effects jacks clean and tight?

Never assume your tubes are good because they aren't that old. That is why I rarely use current production tubes...they have high failure rates. I suggest that you get a good preamp tube and swap tubes and see if it makes any difference.

I'm assuming that the power tubes are running okay.

Leave feedback and let me know if you got anywhere.
