My Epi Jr. valve head has gone totally silent. :( No noise at all, not even static. I changed the speaker cable, changed the speaker cabinet. Tried the 4 and 16 ohm outlets, Guitar cords and guitar. The tubes light up, and it don't seem to be overheated. Any Ideas?
I'll offer my usual suggestion: http://geofex.com/ Click on "Tube Amp Tech Pages," then "Tube Amp Debugging Page." All the possibilities are presented there, in simple, logical order.

In the Epiphone Forum they've talked about a problem with one of the fuseholder's that can create a problem similar to this. I don't know if it's the same problem, but the fix is to take the fuse holder apart and clean the contacts.
Life's journey can be hard at times, but you have to realize that you are the only one with the power make it a worthwhile experience.
If you're checking a fuse holder, don't forget to check the fuse. I'm thinking a VJ only has a single fuse for power. If it has a separate one for the "high" voltage it could do that, but if the tubes and power light are coming on, a single fuse would be OK.
