I've been using my Carvin V3M more or less exclusively for the past year, and sort of lost track of the fact that the whole reason I bought it was because my Peavey XXL was having issues. The XXL's volume would drop from time to time, usually not enough to be immediately obvious but at least once or twice pretty substantially.
I bought it used and can personally account for hundreds of hours of use at practice and gigs, so I'm not surprised that it finally needs some work, but I was curious if anyone can point me in the right direction before I take it to a shop where they'll be "unable to replicate the problem" and just spray contact cleaner in it. I haven't had very good results in the past when taking solid state amps in for the repair of intermittent problems.
