No clean tone - no volume
I can't get a clean tone and there is very little volume on the drive channel. I can still get some reverb but little. The tubes are all plugged in and they all appear to be working but whether they are working correctly I don't know. I don't use the drive channel so its like not having an amp!!

First thing I'd check is if the valves / tubes are plugged in properly (it doesn't take much to loosen them) Unplug the amp then take out all of the valves and put them back in again.
If that doesn't work, try swapping the preamp valves (the little ones) around (let them cool down first) that'll tell you if one of them is worn.
Failing that I'd try cleaning the gain and volume pots with some switch cleaner, and if that didn't work I'd bite the bullet and buy a new set of valves.
Hope that helps
