Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 misbehaving. Help :-(

My Shuttle 6 was playing up at the gig the other night. Was working fine, suddenly there was a fizzy crackly noise and the volume dropped drastically. I fiddled with the volume control to little effect, then in desperation I thumped the top of the case and the fault cleared. Not the first time it's done the crackly thing, but it's the first time that I've needed to apply the percussion to sort it.
Eeek. Any ideas?

I had this on mine. Cured it temporarily on a gig using impact technology on the top. I sent it back and the replacement did the same thing after a week or two.

It was the valve seating in the rather delicate socket, I changed the 12ax7 valve as a precaution, but do make sure the preamp valve is seated properly, there's a rather feeble spring to hold it in place, but it's liable to move slightly - causing the crackle/low signal.

Edit: I think I've mentioned this in more detail on a thread before so you could do a search on here if you need more info.

'Impact technology' :laugh1: love it. A bit like 'percussion engineering'.
Thanks for the help chaps :friends:. I've got an enforced month off playing coming up (carpal surgery recuperation) so I'll take that opportunity to have a ferret around inside it and see what I can see see see.

Ferret might be too big, a hamster maybe? Or a small mouse? :)
