Wish i could help...

All i can say is...leave it for a while and come back fresh...and you will eventually find what is wrong.

I've been in situation like that many many times...I can feel your pain...

more tubes = happiness ...another 5 tubes later...

I reinstalled the VVR2 and moved the resistors & caps down to the tube socket.

A NOS Tungsram in V1 from Josh @ Tejas tubes (well, a set actually) and I'm back in business, sounding better than ever.

I still have a bit of oscillation if everything is cranked to the max & a guitar is plugged in, turn one knob back to 4 o'clock and it's gone. Hiss is down too....? I'll keep working on it, but it's more than usable.

Dana's VVR2 is all everyone says it is, a very nice piece of work/design.

Thanks to all who offered advice & support, this is a great site!
