Problem with my Diezel Herbert

[atticus_finch]

Here is my problem with my 7 year old Herbert and I have no clue how to solve it:

From one day to another the amp has less power/ is quiter.
Yet I have checked and changed all the cables, tried another cabinet and changed the power tubes. Nothing solved the problem.

Any hints? May I have to change the preamp tubes?

if power tubes didn't fix it, change V1 preamp tube and maybe the PI. 99% of amp problems are tube related. and, if you have been playing it for 7 years with the same tubes, there's a chance they are your culprit.
