i bought a used amp at a guitar center... kinda messed up once i started playing it.... whenever i play for about 20 minutes is when it starts messing up real bad... when i hit a chord or something and hold it out the speakers will start crackling and then the amp will suddenly stop and not have any sound coming out of it at all..the power is still on and everything just no sound coming from the speakers.. then all that i have to do is just kick the amp anywhere on it and it will start working again.. but about 10 seconds after that it will do it all over again... cant play for more than like 10 seconds before it shuts ff all the way again... and another thing i realized is when you lean it up on something sideways like on an amp stand it will stop doing it for a couple of minutes then goes back jsut to what it was doing again... .. if anyone could help me out at all on what might be wrong i would apprecicate it so much..thanks guys have a good one!!

i have no idea... but..... speakers... power connections... tubes... you must know one stereo/amp junkie outside of this site to diagnose it... good luck.. i know i may have not helped.. but i opened cause i'm researching the vox valvetronix line..

I hope I'm not being redundant, but bring it to a shop. I don't want to type all the thing it could be...
