Aight people no need to get passive aggressive with each other. Agedhorse the info given by you and others has been useful and I understand that you are all far more knowledgeable and experienced than me, but 74hc isn't wrong in saying no one has actually answered the question.

Yeah I really don't know how they make a casing so confusing. To make matters worse the handle is embedded in the side of the amp so its part of the structure too.

Alright thanks mate. The phrase rings a bell, a vague memory tells me that 'starved plate' circuits use a lower voltage across the tube, making it much more ineffective (if that's the right word) in the circuit. The TX600 uses the preamp from the LH1000 head I think, I don't know if this is...

Yup. The I'm assuming preamplifiers in all tube amps function similarly to the one in my hybrid, cause you never see stuff on hybrids anywhere. Again please correct me if I'm wrong though.

Sorry if I caused any offense. From what I have read and heard of tube amps on other forums and from knowledgeable people around and about changing the tube can influence the ability to overdrive, and simply changing the valve is not a process that can destroy an amp. If this is incorrect I am...

Yes I do. I'm asking if anyone knows how to open my head. I was probably going to change the tube at some point anyway. Telling me that the tube probably does not have anything to do with the hiss is not useful to me in any way. I appreciate the feedback but all I want to know is how to get...

Thanks for the advice guys but really I AM COMPLETELY UNABLE TO SHIP THE AMP BACK TO HARTKE due to where I live. It would genuinely be cheaper to buy a new one than pay for the shipping. Also I would like to try out a few different tubes to see if I can get more overdriven tones from the...

I'm wanting to replace the tube in my Hartke TX600 head as after letting a friend borrow it there has been greatly increased preamp hiss. Unfortunately sending it to a verified service centre is not an option as the postage would be too expensive. I have a few tubes I would like to try but...
