For the first attempt, start from trying to use another cable and guitar mate.
Hmmm Was just playing Same guitar and used same cord with My Mustang I amp....
Looked at the amps plug in point couldn't see anything wrong with it :(
Has this amp ever worked while you have owned it or did you get it this way? Do you get sound through the amp when the volume is turned all the way up? Plug in your guitar and strum the strings while moving the volume knob on the amp up and down.
Also, make sure the volume is turned up on our guitar, I've made that mistake before!
I have had it work before. Then I got the Fender Mustang 1 so I started playing on that for awhile. The Gorilla was left at my bros house in a little room we practiced in. Picked it up recently
all vol knobs were up. It had started getting iffy near trhe end ( hence getting the Mustang) but it still worked when tilted a certain way. now ...nothing :(
Sounds like an intermittency problem. I'd open it up and redo the solder joints of the input jack and potentiometers.

I agree. If that doesn't work, you'll have to do Juan's "chopstick test".
