Ok, this is probably going to sound insane to most people but I'm nearing my wits end. Every guitar amp I have ever owned has had a tendency to lose all of its tone and presence after a fairly short time. I have used a Peavey Bandit and XXX, a Vox Valvetronix, a Marshall AVT 2000, a Crate GT212, and most recently an Ibanez ToneBlaster Extreme. After a month or two, they all sounded dead and fuzzy, like the signal chain was breaking down somewhere, sort of like having a bad cable only worse. These amps never had much in common except me being the one using them. Most never gave any warning or other symptoms, they just decided to sound like crap one day, with the exception of the Ibanez, which made a loud POP and cut out, then slowly faded back in, but to a lower volume and with that wonderful scratchy fuzz I've come so accustomed to. Could other equipment be feeding bad juju into the power lines??? Do I produce some unidentifiable bioelectric field that destroys output transformers??? Seriously, I have no clue. Please HELP!!!!!!
