When the cap failed many other parts were also stressed. Dont take anything as good until prove it. Culd be hard to troubleshoot, but you'll find it.
Those CE caps tested better than JJ's on my cap tester. First time I've seen one blow up. Sorry for that.

Well, I swapped the four JJs that were provided with the kit for 4 Shughang EL34s provided by tube tramp. Plus I swapped one preamp tube after one preamp tube for a stock EH 12AX7...
I'll keep trying but I can't figure this out. Booms have disappeared but I still get too much hiss. When I don't touch the amp it's relatively quiet, but it's hiss nightmare when I turn either the bass or treble pots...
