I have a Fender 65 Twin Reverb which I bought new about 22 months ago.

I always turn the power on, wait a minute or so and then turn the standby switch on, turn up the volume and begin playing.

Recently I have noticed that the amp doesn't always work when I turn the standby switch on (the red light is on but I don't get any sound no matter how high I turn the volume) but turning it off and then back on again (sometimes more than once) has always done the trick so far.

The amp is still under warranty so I can get the shop I bought it from to pick it up and repair it. The warranty doesn't cover valves though so if this is likely to be a valve problem, I would prefer to just replace the value(s) myself.

Has anyone else experienced similar problems and, if so, do you know the cause?

Many thanks!

Look a switch issue or solder, not valve.

Actually, I now realise that what I wrote above isn't accurate. In fact, when the problem occurs (every time I use the amp now) there is output from the amp if I turn the volume up high. With the volume knob at 6, the volume is about the same as it normally is at 1 or 2. And in the past couple of days it has come good after a minute or two without me having to turn it off and on again. Once it's working it's fine
