I have an old Crate tube amp that a friend gave me that I've used for a couple of years. Lately when I play it seems to work for a few minutes then suddenly the sound is gone. I can play around with all of the controls and nothing gets it back. When I turn it off I get an ear splitting squeal or pop. Any ideas as to what could be the issue? This is my first and only tube amp.

Could be time for a re-tube.

+1

And/or some routine maintenance. Even the finest tubes amps perform at their best when they're serviced at regular intervals.
