Hi guys I'm having problems with my Marshall Artist again, over a year ago I had it fixed at Amp N Guitar Doctor 1914 Tuscarawas St W, Canton, OH and Pat "Manny" Cahill said at the time when he fixed it, he said that there were several problems but burned driver tube socket had to be replaced.

My nephew was over here today and I restrung his electric guitar for him and he didn't have his little combo amp here so I figured I'd let him plug into my Marshall Artist with the matching Marshall 1965A 4x10 cab. Sounded fine when I first took the amp off standby after warming up for a couple minutes but as he was playing through it, the gain dropped significantly on the distortion channel and on the clean channel it's all brittle and distorted sounding with the clean channel volume really low? I even tried twisting the knobs back and forth and nothing, no change? I was trying to run a patch cable in and out of the effects loop and nothing, no change?
 
Definitely sounds tube related.
Bring it to Guitar Riot in Cleveland.
There amp tech is talented and Brent(one of the owners) was employed by Dr Z amps.

If you have spare power/pre tubes I'd swap them to see if that helps. I know there's only one pre on those right? Try that.
