hey there,
i've got a problem with my 6 months old HRD 3. Since one month, the amp dies away while playing and becomes loud again after about ten seconds. This happens very irregularly, about every two hours of playing. I already tried to bridge the FX Loop but that doesn't help.
Any ideas ?

Hi henrywotton,

The first thing that comes to mind is not voiding your warranty by mucking about inside a brand new amp. Take it back and exchange it. If you want to try to fix it yourself, you can try new tubes without voiding your warranty, and that's about it. Had you thought about it when it first happened, your tubes would have been covered also.

No equivocation -- let the warranty cover any repairs, that's what it's for.
