TA-30 goes silent, then comes back on

[hippdogs]

My Mesa TA-30 head has suddenly developed this odd and intermittent habit of "fizzing" off (sound goes absolutely silent) and then clicking back on in about 10-15 seconds. What's up with that?

Hey;

Does the sound fade out, go away, and then come back? Again, and again until it happens all the time? It happened to me about 6 months ago. Still under warranty so it went back. Has been working great for 6 months. Happened again last week. I got an extended warranty, but I don't want to not have an amp for a month.

I read somewhere that these things eat tubes, so it may be that. Let me know if you figured your issue out.
