An old Peavey solid-state amp with a fault .
Depending on the age of it, it may well have socketed ICs throughout - if so, the first thing to do after what DJH said and especially if it turns out to be in the preamp, is to give all of them a squirt of contact cleaner and make sure they’re pushed tightly into the sockets. They can sometimes work loose or get a spot of corrosion in one of the pin connections. Don’t take them out, just wiggle them a bit while pushing down.

At a guess, one possibity from the sound is that one half of the split-rail power supply is down, which would affect the whole amp. If so it should be relatively easy to fix and may be as simple as a broken solder joint.
