Hey everyone. IM working on a Sunn enforcer all tube amplifier with 4 6L6's and 4 preamp tubes (12ax7's) When the amp is ran clean both channels sound great, but as soon as the drive is turned up the sound goes south. The distortion is just crappy as you turn it up. the pots are pretty dirty so could that be why? i replaced the preamp tubes and the problem does not really change.

Could it be that it's just a good amp with a crappy dist. channel?

Cheers,

I hope the dist channel doesn't use diodes...(check Marshall modern decline and carvin stuff).

Maybe use a booster on the clean channel. If it sounds much better, the dist channel is really crappo. Try to get some schematics.
