I have not personally worked on this amp but do have some experience working with Solid state amps. I would tend to think the output transistors are the fault. These are usually connected to a heat sink. I would also replace the emitter stabilizing resistors as these tend to become stressed when the output transistors become faulty. I don't have a schematic for that amp but that would be my educated guess. If you know somebody that solders you could buy him a couple beers to do it for you
if volume cuts out completely, the little black plastic looking things connected to your alluminum heat sink are transistors, and they heat up and turn to shit. i blew one of those up, ditch the spider. buy a peavey 6534... and smash that amp on video for us tubelovers to watch lol... but save the speaker and box, just smash the circuit lol... no take it to a pawn shop and play it quietly for them and walk out with cash.... then buy the peavey... i play carvin, but buy the peavey for metal
Faulty output stage transistor or transistors, they need replacing, when it gets louder or the demand is more they cany handle the increase in power output because they are faulty. It will get worse, start crackling, then die altogether but it is repairable
i have that problem, and everybody else's problems! when i play it cuts out, turns quiet all of a sudden, it pops, and it just stops playing. sometimes it works, but there's a REALLY loud noticeable hissing sound and then i can only play for like 2min and then it'll stop playing. what the hell to i do?!
I have the same amp and the same thing happened to me. Its the power amp section going bad. I didn't get it fixed but instead I had an old receiver laying around and connected the amp to it through the headphone out put into the receivers aux input. Then I hooked the line 6 speakers to it and it worked. The receiver I used was an old Kenwood KAM-1. If you go that route make sure the receiver can handle the speakers and make sure to set the receivers eq to flat.
Line 6 a very cool amplifier I wish I have one but the problem with this is not the amp but the wire is the problem.Sorry for my late comment on your video dude :)
Its a line 6! thats whats wrong with it! Nah, if its cutting out when you crank it, its probably a capacitor fault man. I had a spider a while back and that happened to it
It's the solders on the ribbon cable dude. It's happens if yu crank it up high for too long, just take it to your nearest Line 6 dealer and ask them to check it out just to keep the warrenty people happy.
Lose solder joints in amp. I would also check the speaker. Try connecting the speaker to a stereo and carefully bring up the volume. If it is still doing the same with the stereo? It is the speaker. If not it is the internal board solder joints.
I worked on a Line 6 amp that did the same thing and what i found is several bad solder connection with the ribbon cable inside due to vibrations from the amp being cranked loud for long periods of time. Another thing is that the circuit boards get really hot and at times it will overheat.

Did u try with other jacks? Maybe it's your jack that has bad connection.

sounds like a bad connection in the cord or the guitar. I also noticed it looks like you have active pickups that might be it to.

the amp doesn't want to play metal... try playing some blues!

Might be something wrong with the circuit that handles the sound modeling. I'm no expert though.
