One of the tubes on my amp went bad. There are no crazy glowing tubes or microphonics happening, but when i turn my '69 on (the volume is at full and kicks the amp up a tad) the volume drops to an unaudiable level. Could someone please help me? thanks

Could be any number of things. If the amp sounds normal before you kick the pedal on, and only drops when you engage the pedal, you are probably hitting the input stage too hard and the signal is compressing dramatically.

Some amps will do this more than others...vintage Traynor Reverb Masters come to mind as do Fender Bassman heads.
