Typically over the past few weeks outdoor jams I'll run the volume for Ch2 at the 11-12 o'clock position and it fit very well. Today I did the same and it was good for the first 3 songs, then I turned it off, took a break and when I got back up it was SO obnoxiously loud - nobody else adjusted volumes. I had to turn it down to the 8-9 o'clock position and it was still almost too loud, I was drowning out the other guitar player and the volume was barely on. I couldn't get over it.
Does it sound like something went nuts or broke in my amp?

Did you switch guitar?

Nope same guitar and everything. No pedals, I play straight in to the amp. I didn't adjust any knobs either. It was in Pentode "mode" the entire time if that makes a difference. I have not messed with Ch1 to see if the volume shifted on that channel.

Have you check your cable?

Have you check your cable? I have not tried using another cable since I didn't think a cable could affect the volume that greatly (a bit more then a 1/4 of a turn). I will try a different cable tonight and see if there is a difference.

I had a similar situation with a dying cable a while back - I hope that's all it is in your case! Please let us know how this pans out...

I've tried 3 different cables and all the same.
I got a brake lite so I don't mind it that much but without the brake lite the volume goes from none to loud with no inbetween and it only gets louded as you crank it.

The Brake Lite definitely makes this amp sound like a different beast when you can crank it. Now I just need some verb!
