I have a Fender Vibro Champ that sounds amazing. but i rarely use it. Partially because its a loud amp (prolly a tube going bad?) do all tube amps have a hum to them? maybe I just need to learn how to mic it properly. lol

Hum can be bad filter caps or possibly other problems. Tube amps have a lot of heft behind the sound. It isn’t merely the power tubes, but also the inductive reactance of the output transformer. My most used amp is a 5 watt Winfield Typhoon and it’s surprisingly loud for a tube amp I can carry with one finger.
