It’s not the only possibility - there’s also a high voltage supply which could potentially have failed, or many other components. Checking the valves is the first and easiest step though.

If it’s something other than a valve that’s wrong, I had mine fixed by Jon at Mambo Amps (https://mambo-amp.co.uk/). In my case it was a little transformer whose job it is to produce high voltages internally. I remember Jon had a problem sourcing one and so when he eventually did, he got a couple in as spares. He may well still have them!
It's worth checking that the valves are seated properly. Make sure you've discharged the caps though, try engaging the the switch to to on, plugged into an amp, and remove the pedal power for a few mins.
I you could put a WTB on the amp section, see if anyone has some old valves they want to get rid of for a quick debug and swop them out. Otherwise it's back to the seller for a refund
