Thanks itu, I've been using the amp for a few years and I don't think I'm driving it any harder than normal but it was a small, hot venue and the amp did fail just after a couple of songs that I use an octave pedal on so I was pushing some very low sounds. I'll open the head up and check out the fans, make sure nothing is blocked. 👍

I recently had an amp cut out on me during a gig. Luckily it started working again a few minutes later but it made me think about what spares are realistic to take to a gig. Spare strings, batteries etc. are a given. A second guitar is also a good idea in my opinion but what else? Spare amp? Second cab? What do you guys carry and if you don't carry spares what do you do when something fails?

Hey folks, I had a problem with my GB800 head recently. Part way through a song it lost all output. No sound at all. All the lights were still on, so it wasn't a power issue but I couldn't get any sound out of it at all. I tried swapping cables, powering it off and back on but got nothing. Then about 5 minutes later it started working again and worked flawlessly for the rest of the gig. I've had no previous problems with it, it's in excellent condition, no noisy pots or dodgy connections but I'm paranoid now that it's going to fail again. Anybody have any idea what could have caused the issue? Thanks
