I bought this amp used and, in short, it sounds like crap ola. Now, it could need new tubes (the clean channel is acting funny) as there is some weird noises going on. Also, I can't even tell if the reverb is working. Or very weakly, if so. I can get a decent sound out of the lead channel although something just doesn't sound quite right on that channel either.

My question is for anyone with knowledge of these amps/tube amps: Should I invest some money in it and keep her or should I just cut my losses? I know it shouldn't/won't sound like a Fender on the clean channel but what have your experiences been with this amp or mesa boogie in general?
