Okay, so I'm playing and the amp sounds great, when all of a sudden I hear a popping noise, and I lose significant amounts of volume. I'm talking to the point where I can barely hear myself playing. This has been going on for quite sometime so I have noticed a few things: 1) The red distortion light goes on when this happens (even though it is on the clean channel). 2) If I give it a good whack right on top, especially near the inputs, the volume returns. 3) If I plug into the power amp input, I do not have this problem AT ALL. So, I am assuming that I have a pre amp problem. However, I know very little about the internal workings of tube amps. Please let me know if you are familiar with this problem, and whether it is even worth fixing. I would rather buy a new amp then sink a bunch of money into this one. Oh, by the way, it is an early 90's model (93 I think). Thanks, in advance.

When mine did the same thing it was the input jacks shorting out.

try new jacks.
