Here is my story. Bought a Framus Dragon a Month or so ago..I have been happy with it for the most part so far. Today I was playing for 20 minutes or so and the tone has changed to that of a cheap ass distortion pedal. Think Danelectro black coffee. Very Fizzy sounding like the Treble is dimed all of the time and it has more gain..but not a nice gain.

With the assistance of JJ Rodriguez we changed the tubes..all of them and re-biased and the problem persists. I am wondering what my next step should be. Any input would be very much appreciated.

My biggest issue is the lack of knowledgeable techs in the area.

In my experience with tube amps...my only one being a XXX 9 out of 10 problems come down to tubes and I have ruled that out.

Thanks
