Post subject: Bassbreaker 18/30 - Valve issue or something else?

Hi all,

I have a Bassbreaker 18/30 which is great, but the other night during rehearsal after about two hours it lost all sound. When I switched to the 18w channel it came back on and then after about a minute came back on the 30w channel. It was then fine for the rest of the rehearsal, and I haven't been able to replicate the problem since.
Does this sound like a valve/tube issue? I find it strange that it would start working again perfectly, surely if a valve was faulty then it would stop working and that would be it.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Valve issue ? I don't think , when a valve come bad it stay bad.

Bad solder on the amp ? Bad contact on circuit board ?

Unplug an plug all valves few time, it will clean socket contact

Thanks, that what I thought. Think I'll have to get it looked at.

I had a similar issue once. Really bothered me that I couldn’t replicate it. Switched power tubes and was convinced that’s what it was. Turned out it was a bad cable. It was an old Radio Shack coiled job. Funny I used to think how old it was it must have been made well. Ultimately intermittent problem. Just a thought for ya
