Things to Check Before Calling
Before spending money on amp repair there are some things you should check. Some of these things may sound like "duh" items but it's more common than you think.
Confirm your amp is plugged into a working electrical outlet. Make sure your volume and gain are turned-up to at least 3, and no headphones are connected. Try at least two instrument cables. If these simple checks don't solve the problems, call an amp repair specialist to discuss your amp problem.
