Broken FX-Loop (M/B Mark III Head)
So, the FX loop on my Mesa/Boogie Mark III Head is cutting out sound for some or no particular reason at all. At one second it's working perfectly fine and then another second half the sound is gone, like a broken pot-meter. What can I do about this?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Well on those the FX loop is driven by V2. First try simply pulling it out and plugging it back in (spray some contact cleaner on the pins if you have any). If that doesn't work try your spare tube in there.

sounds like you have a broken solder joint.

Alright thanks! Funny thing is it only happens sporadically and not always. For example it did it today a couple of times and then I switched it on and off again and it didn't occur at all. very weird. Also, it's only when there's something plugged into the FX loop, so if there IS something wrong, it has to be with the loop.
