Last night, about halfway through our set, my Roadster head suddenly lost about 95% of it's volume onstage. I still had some volume but it was negligible almost impossible to hear.
I had to power it off and back on again to get my sound back - it happened twice during the evening, but did eventually come back after being switched off for a moment.
Could this be a power tube issue? I bought the amp used and the seller told me he had never changed the tubes. I swapped a couple of the pre-amp valves a few weeks ago - but I haven't replaced the power tubes since I bought the amp.
I'm using a US model head with a step down transformer to run it in the UK if that makes any difference.
Any ideas what might be causing this? I'm quite worried about using it again onstage
