Hi guys
a mate just bought one of these today and got it home only to find a problem. Hoping someone on here might have some tips and tricks to share? Of course he can take it back next week, but hoping there’s a quick fix at home rather than the long(ish) round trip back to the shop.
It’s only effecting the gain channel. Both inputs do it, maybe worse on the first input. Clean is fine and sounds right. Tried x3 guitars and another cable. Valves all tightly seated correctly. I didn’t get time to pull the valves out to see what they looked like. Seems odd it only effects one channel - do they use all the valves for both channels? I might have some spares here to try but not sure I have x3 12ax7 to replace them. Might have the power valves.
It cuts in and out, but not fully. Sounds like a dicky cable does. Goes fuzzy and volume drops down intermittently. As said, sounds just like a buggered cable.
Thanks for any help!

I always think it’s odd to describe these as “reissues”. I know they went out of production for a few years, but they’re a modern amp... not a reissue of anything.
