Hi! I have a problem with my Orange AD30HTC!
Sometimes the Channel Two is much more quite than Channel One.
If I "shake" it a little bit it works normally again.
Is it possible that maybe the tubes aren't really connected or something like that?
Another question:
Is it normal that at Channel One the Sound gets extra loud if I turn it up from 10 to 11(Master)? It's like a step. Should that also happen at Channel Two?
Thank you very much for helping me!

Allright. Now I know what was damaged at my amplifier.
The tube-socket had a problem with one connection, so that sometimes the amp wasn't able to use one or some tubes...

By the way you describe it, seems that one side of the PI has a bad contact... I had a similar problem!
Open your amp, get a wood stick, and with the amp turned ON, hit each conection, till you find your bad joint. Then Solder it agin! That's what i did!
