Hey Big, you said a tech looked at the Twin, that's one of the things he would have checked. If you want to remove the cover(on the underside of the chassis),you can look at the ends of the capacitors for signs of a small bubble forming. Do not touch any of the wiring!!!!! Just make a visual inspection. Most modern filter caps are "self healing" types, yours should be this type. Failing filter caps will give you notice by volume loss and/or fluctuation in volume, also the amp will become noisy(steady hum). It doesn't sound like you have any of these problems. How's that reverb working? ART
