Bugger.
Luckily I know the right person to speak to. Yay.
I suspect it's no more than an output valve gone south. But I'm bollocksed if if sticking my delicate pinkies in an amp.

There is sound, but really faint, and only on the lead channel. Also it's mahoosively distorted (think metalzone, doubled), says output valve to me.
Also it was working normally last week

Me no have time to do. Well not enough, and I'm not that happy working with that much voltage. me pass to amp doctor. he fix. Me pay, he fix

Me too scared of high voltage transformer in amp. Amp made in England not efficient China. Lazy solder maybe.
Me sweat buckets and clench starfish when open amp. Valves far away from transformer. Me crack glass on valve and have to hoover out of enclosure. Me clench balloon knot again when stick hoover into amp. Me have Mrs Lip on standby in case TinLip fry.
Cheers @TinLip your wording has made I chuckle.
I'd rather let someone who knows what he's doing do it, rather than fry Mike_L.

Something similar happened to my mates.
Sometimes you could temporarily solve it by cleaning the fx loop jacks. Eventually the board needed replacing.
There's a fair amount of other stuff on that back board though, not directly related to the FX jacks which could maybe have been disturbed by cleaning them. Even then I can't think of any reason you'd need to change the board rather than the parts, it's not like the main board which can actually burn due to arcing through the thickness of it or between nearby traces. The back board doesn't carry the high voltages which do that.

However, it was reported a lot back in the days of HCAF when I used to frequent there, that a "dirty" fx loop could cause similar problems on that amp. Several members had issues.
As you said. They were an amp that was affected by all manner of issues.
As "nosounditis" is somewhat vague, I'm only trying to pass on some other things that I have encountered or read about which could be causing the problem here.
There's far more than just one or two possibilities of what is causing the problem here. It could nearly be anything..
