Let me start by saying I love this amp. It is the second one I’ve owned having regrettably sold my first one about 10 years ago. It was flawless and never let me down. I trusted it completely and played hundreds of shows with it. With that in mind I bought a used one from a certain major guitar store who shall not be named. It arrived Thursday and I quickly put it in my rack case, plugged in to my Ampeg 212 AV and started playing my EBMM Stingray 5 through it. Two hours later and I was in love all over again. Well, last night I was playing a show and had it hooked into my Ampeg 810. I was playing my SBMM Ray 34. We are a punk/hardcore band so we rarely play anything more than a 45 minute set. With about two songs left there was a dramatic drop in volume. There was still sound coming out of my cabinet and it wasn’t distorted but it was very quiet. It didn’t feel like it was overheating. I brought it home and plugged it back into my Ampeg 212AV and played it (at a lower volume) for about 2 more hours with no issues. I know there’s lots of things it could be, but does anyone know of any common issues with these that would cause what I’m experiencing? Just trying to get an idea of what I may be in for since I just spent my equipment budget amount for the next several months. Thanks in advance!
