hi people
the other night i was at rehearsal playing merrily at a highish volume when suddenly for no reason i lost most of my volume. even though my amp was turned way up i could barely hear anything. i unplugged my pedalboard and stuck my guitar straight in and still no good. i turned off my amp for a while and then tried again . .. still no good. any idea's?
thanks heaps,
aussie
a little problem

You need to determine if it's a speaker or an amp problem.
Have you hooked it up to another speaker box?
Could be tube problems, though it's unusual for one to fail in this manner. IF you normally play distorted you may have lost an output tube and not noticed the resuling distortion but just the loss of volume. (I've seen this before with Marshalls and "distortion-only" players.)
Trying new output tubes would prove/disprove this possibility or if
you have a good amp tech he can look at the output on his 'scope and tell if one tube has gone away.
good luck,
Jon
