Hi,

I recently build another amp with no speedball for a friend.  Resistance and voltage checked out ok.  Amp worked fine for few hours, but now it power off by itself after about 5 minutes of playing.  What should I do?  Thank you for your time.

Is the power switch melted?

Never mind, after poking around with the wires and removing the fuse,  It works for an hour now.  I'm gonna live it on for 24 hrs to see what happen.  Thanks, Jason

I would imagine that there is a loose connection in the amplifier that causes the intermittent nature of your problem.
