What type of amp is it? Does it have tubes or is it solid state?

If it doesn't have tubes, I'm lost.

Check here.

They can get really technical so if you want it simple, make sure to ask.

Hope this helps and let us know what the problem was.

very likely that as the circuit board heats up, there is a cracked solder joint that expands and opens up.

I'm not an amp tech so could be wrong, however it that is the problem it will be hard to find and fix.

Good luck

Handi270's suggestion is a possibility, you would need to remove the circuit board and check the solder joints under a magnifying glass.

Have you done a visual inspection of the board to see if there is anything that looks burnt? Keep safety in mind if you do decide to check it visually and make sure the amp is unplugged.
