Hi, Fender Forum.

First-time poster here with a question on my 1982 Super Champ.

After a 20 minutes of playing, the power lamp dims and will continue to do so to the point where it can barely be seen as on. The amp continues to sound fine and the lamp will restore its brightness after the amp is turned off and cooled down.

Could this be the transformer? I thought that the lamp is wired to the current that subsequently flows to the power tube heaters, which if so is a concern.

Any insight or comments are appreciated.

Thank you.

I would just try changing the bulb first. They do go eventually.

i would have it checked out by a good tech. That amp is worth it.
