I'm no technician, so am not going to make a suggestion other than to find someone qualified to repair this. The voltages involved in valve amps scare me... dunno about you. Any kind of bang or pop or whatever is probably a short in my non-expert opinion, which has blown a valve again by the sounds of it...

You could look at this - and maybe direct some of the guys you've had look at it to the curcuit diagrams & valve biasing information etc.

Also, if you can say where you are, maybe someone can recommend a decent tech to repair it for you....

man, valve stuff is a real problem. tube fatigues, blownups, u should replace them regularly... in this case, its sounds like voltage anomaly. in the other worlds, anormal voltage instability. u know, when technicians checking, everything was cool, but another day, ZAP! maybe there's weak contacts or shortcuts exist...

i think u shouldn't use it anymore. valve amps are hi-voltage devices, and they can ZAP your axe's ground... that means u'll get ZAP when touching strings...

Might be a way off, but if it's less than a year old, doesn't it still have warranty? I guess it may have been voided by whatever has been done so far...

Couldn't you return it to the shop you bought it from, or Marshall themselves for repair or replacement?
