My amp's gain channel will play fine for a while, then it sounds all thin and the tonestack/master volume quit working. Clean channel is fine.
Is this what happens when caps go bad??? It's got those surface mound yellow-box MEB style ones. I replaced one that was faulty with an orange drop and noticed a BIG tone improvement.
It plays fine as long as it's out of the shell and upside down so heat can escape. If I put it right side up like it's in the head, the gain channel fizzes out in minutes.
I think I have a bad cap that self heals when it cools off.
