I have no sound or even hum anymore...I tried changing the tubes but this is not the issue - - everything lights up when the amp is on but no sound - - what should I try next?

Is the speaker connected to the amp?

Not being a smartass but Is your guitar cord good? Volume up on the guitar. Did you try substituting all the tubes one at a time? If you're running pedals are they okay too? Plugged in correctly, batteries good etc? If everything checks out, you might need to take it in. Are you sure all the tubes are good? Maybe an output tranny.

Yes to everything there - except replacing the tubes 1 at a time (I replaced both)...output tranny? That's not good.

Did you replace the preamp tube too? I think it's a 12AX7
