As I was playing on my super champ a couple of days ago it suddenly started breaking up really badly. After a couple of seconds of confusion I started to smell a burning smell, I looked at the back and the left power tube was very dim and the right was almost twice as bright as usual. So did the tube just burn out and I just need to replace it? Thanks for any advice!

I'd take it in and have it looked at.

+1 It does sound like some bad soldering on the board...but I am not a tech.

It could be the tube, but I agree with the above posts, have a pro look at it. If this amp was a pure tube, you could look at it yourself, but since its a hybrid, who knows how its wired up.
