That you seriously need a professional to look at your amp. :idea:

If that amp is new, I'd take it back. Could be an indication of a really rocky reliability road. :wink: If you don't want to wind up dead, keep your hands out of the amp if you have no clue as to what you're doing.

that no one is going to waste anymore time with this thread. You have been given solid advice to each of your questions and apparently haven't read a single reply. Your amp has a serious problem. At some point in the near future it is going to get worse, possibly taking out additional components within the chassis when it does. It will make the amp unplayable. Other much more knowledgeable posters than me have postulated bad tubes or bad solder joints. The tube swapping is something you could do yourself and not be out a lot of money. Tubes really aren't expensive unless you're going for NOS stuff. Besides, at some point tubes will go bad and you will already have a replacement on hand. The solder joints you should not be taking care of yourself. Take it to a qualified tech. Do not open up the chassis and "take a look" you can't help that way. If you bought it new and have the reciept, you probably have a warranty available to help you out. If not, the bench fee isn't worth electrocuting yourself over.

Just stop playing games. Your amp has a problem. Problems in tube amps don't fix themselves. They get worse until it's catastrophic. Take your amp to a tech before it gets expensive.

If you bought it new why play around? That's what the warranty's for. If you bought it used a tube swap is easy enough but if you need youtube videos to dig deeper sounds like you might need a good tech.
