Well, I was playing my Heartbreaker on channel one with the gain switch at the high position and all of a sudden it just shut down completely and won't power back on. This is my first tube amp, but I'm assuming this is the fuse. I'm going to replace the power tubes because I've been wanting to and this gives me a good opportunity. This gets to my question. Should I also replace the preamp tubes? Previously I had been getting problems with the sound dropping sporadically on both channels. Should I look into replacing a few preamp tubes along with the power tubes?
