Some are easier than others.  Had a Fender twin come in with a reverb complaint.  Pulled out the tank and there was half a china plate jammed under it.  Greek wedding I guess.

Lol... that is funny! At least it wasn't a dead animal.  :-)

****SOLUTION*****

Hey, I know I'm necroposting on this topic but since there was no usable solution on this thread I wanted to post my fix for the exact same issue. This thread was the first relevant google result I could find when I went to fix my amp today.

It turns out that a resistor on the main board had completely fallen off and was in the bottom of the amp. It was a 5W / 10 ohm resistor that had fallen off the 'R101' placement spot on the circuit board.
(see photo titled 'Circled.jpg' below)
It looks like the two white rectangular resistors to the left of my big red circle.

I soldered the resistor back into place by removing all the knobs and knob nuts, the board screws and flipped the board over. No need to unplug any wires... well... except the main power from the wall outlet of course.

I have always had problems with that amp since I purchased it. Surprisingly the amp will work without that resistor but it sounds like mud and has always crackled and sometimes cut out on me at loud volumes.

After I fixed it tonight, I took it out to the garage and plugged my synth in and cranked it up. The damn thing jumps around like a Mexican jumping bean now and sound better than it ever has.

I really hope this helps anyone else that runs into the same issue in the future.

Cheers!!!
