IF nothing has changed then it doesn’t sound too good. If it’s new, I’d say look into getting it serviced under warranty. If it’s not, call around for estimates and compare the cost to fix it with replacing it. I don’t know if this will help, but try unplugging your amp for a few minutes, see if that does anything.
