This is a pretty big problem. My main amp (and only good one) has stopped working (stopped working well, at least...). There is always a hissing on my solid-state amp, but now it's worse and my guitar's volume is like a third of what it usually is. It's definitely a problem with the amp, as I have tried 2 different guitars and two cables, and I took out all my pedals. When I turn the volume up to ten it's about as loud as it usually is at like three, which I usually use it at. Unfortunately, the sound is extremely distorted, even on the clean channel, and It's not a 'good' distortion either. It's just nasty. Have any of you had a problem like this, or do you think you might know what it is? I know Dave's built an amp before, maybe he'll know... Thanks in advance! I really want to play guitar but I can't!
