It sounds like one of the sockets was dirty and reinserting the tubes helped you get a good connection again. Put some contact cleaner on the pins of the tubes when you put them back in and you...

My most important (to me) piece of gear for getting a good tone that I like out of my 6505+ is my EQ pedal. But I do have JJ tubes, so if your tubes are bad then you should get those taken care of...

Yeah I asked about trading in my carbon copy. They said they could sell it for 80 or 90 so they would give me less than that. I don't remember how much. Probably 50 or so. I would sell it on ebay/...

Can you give us some more detail on how your rig is set up?

Were the notes actually coming through your amp or just noise?

Well for distortion it looks like your amps should have you covered. A tubescreamer/overdrive pedal is almost always a usable pedal.

I tried cleaning the jacks to no avail. I did not get to GC to test out their 6505 to see if it did the same thing. Switching preamp tubes also didn't help.

When you check them out, ask if you can use an overdrive pedal with it. That's how a lot of players get their compressed high gain tones (along with a compressor in some cases). It really changes the...

Yeah, the noise gate won't kill it. In fact, the hum only occurs when a pedal is actually in the loop. Like I said before, with a patch cable going into the send and return, there is no hum.

It's not a lot of hum, it probably would not be noticeable live. It's just weird that even with my decimator maxed, it does not stop it.

Yeah just ziptie them together and make a sort of snake out of instrument cables. Works nicely and saves some time. I'd color code or label the ends of each somehow though.

A peavey valveking would be a decent option. You can get those used for about 400 bucks. It's hard to really say without a better idea of what music you like to play though.

Warm isn't one of the first adjectives I would go to to describe 6505 tone.

I would try the JSX out and the 6505 out in person before you decide.

With a 6505 you can get away with no noise gate...

It's a tight fit so I'd imagine you could just pull it out and pop it in if you don't want the mod to be permanent, but I think I would rather screw it back on.
