Volume fading?

Hey Guys,
My amp now seems to be fading gain-wise every once in a while.Like you're turning the volume up and down.Anyone experience this?Thanks!

Are you using an attenuator? They do that

No,not yet.I had the same fading problem on a silver jubilee I used to have but a tech fixed it for me so I don't really know what it was.
I'd like to install the rich mod but all I can find are threads on superleads with the rich mod.

Amazing as it may seem, I guessed that 8) Uhhh... I assume you tried swapping all the tubes out right?

The fading went away.I guess it might have been the cap break-in?

Problems do sometimes seem to work themselves out when the amp is played a ilittle bit. I still try to locate it but if it doesnt do it anymore then it doesnt do it :)
