I am out of ideas, if there is anyone that could help me out I would greatly appreciate it. Everything seems to work fine with the master all the way down, as soon as I turn it up it seems to act like a compressor. I have checked the wiring over and over, tried different tubes. Did the chopstick poking around and all seems well. Voltages seem a little high, not sure if this is normal or not. Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks for reading

I know its hard to tell where the components are soldered on the tube sockets. I have checked all the connections over and over again. Everything is where it is supposed to be.

Thank you for your help!

I disconnect the master volume from the v3 22k resistor on pin 7 and now it continues to hum all the time, so it seems the issue is before the master volume. I was thinking maybe it had something to do with shielded cable but no luck.

The problem was resolved simply by switching to a new set of preamp tubes. I removed the tubes from a working unit (TC15) while i waited for a new set to come in, for some reason the Triwatt didn't like these tubes. Popped in the new set, Voltages are now closer to normal and the amp sounds GREAT!!

What tubes went out & what went in? This is good to know.
