[Harp-L] Power Tubes shot???

[Michael Fugazzi <mfugazzi67@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was between bands about 2 months and not using my
amp.  I started with a new group and switched out to
some lower gain preamp tubes, in hopes I could get
louder and change my tone.  Since, feedback hasn't
been a problem, but now I get way less volume.  I can
crank everything and get no feedback, but very little
volume difference from 1 to ten.

I find it hard to believe the preamp tubes are the
reason for the problem.  I just don't see them
creating that much volume loss (I've done this before
without an issue and the tubes are only 5751's).  I
tried running my amp into 4x10's, but there was no
difference in volume.  I've had the amp for about 9
months and have never touched the power tubes.  Could
this be the source of my problem?  I am afraid to
spend a large chunk of change to find out it has
nothing to do with it.

The guitar player has the same amp and plays it at 2,
whereas I was at ten last night and couldn't hear
myself.
