Hi folks , my tweed Blues Deluxe died all of a shot today .Working perfect then started to sound like a plane taking off , voume rising then nothing...silence..no light in power on/off or standby switch . Checked fuse in plug and its fine !! Any ideas/help gratefully received . Considering buying a Harley Benton GA 5 valve amp in the meantime....

No light indicates a possible power transformer issue, although bad electrolytics are much more common.

If you've got a DVM, start measuring some voltages.
