Hi Changes,

I think that there is an issue with the way your heaters are connected.  Pin 4 goes to v+ (i.e. +14.5v) and pin 5 goes to ground.  There is no center tap that I can see for the heaters.  If both of them are soldered together and are connected to v+, I don't think the tube will even glow!!!

I haven't checked the rest of you pin layouts.  Please check the following link:

We've all been there, it's very hard to understand all the pinouts and all.  Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple.

Cheers,
Steph.

As i read  these posts on peavy amps I am close to crying. Before I realized the beauty of tubes, I had no less than two peavy amps: VTM with thephaser/paralel effects loops scorpion speakers and another similiar to the vtm alltube of course. But for the life of me I couldnt get a decent crunch out of them.

I had a VTM60, they make good boat anchors, but that's about it. They missed it completely with that amp, but Peavey's got a bunch of good amps though.
