I play through a 15w Monoprice Stage Right. Mostly at the 1w setting in a home/bedroom setting. The distortion I get with this amp is fizzy, like when you let a chord or note sustain or ring out, on the tail end it sounds like black and white static on a TV. I have not played a lot of tube amps in person due to lack of available stores in my area. Even the times I have played amps in stores, it's hard to get a good judgement on sound out of your home playing context. I've noticed my spark 40 through headphones does not make this fizzy sound. My question is is the fizz just due to the nature of tube amps and do i just need to turn it up to get clean sounding distortion/gain. Or is it just the cheap low quality tube amp (Monoprice) that is causing this fizz. Will a better amp have cleaner sounding grit at a bedroom level? Or is the fizz inherent to low volume. Thanks in advance.
