   I don't know how to answer in 1,000 words or less so I'll be very basic.   
     Start reading the service manual, go over the theory of operation and   
   start from there.  If it's a tube amp unplug it until it's rebuilt, you   
   may spend a fortune on the 4 output tubes.  If it's the solid state amp,   
   well they aren't easy either.  Check back with specifics after you know   
   the theory of operation and exactly what it does and doesn't do.
