this one for you, unless it has a documented history/magic bullet for

Under that husky exterior rides the flimsiest of circuit boards,
suspended on the plastic jacks and control pots, which barely survives
the bus trip home. Components are known to drop off like leaves from
the trees.

I bought a new Vintager GM110 via eBay about a year ago. When the amp
is switched on and my guitar plugged in, there is no output noise When I switch the amp off, there is about
one second of amplified noise (such as a chosen guitar chord), then
silence.

Take it to an electronics training school, or find an old ham radio guy
with lots of patience and good eyesight. I once found a capacitor
rolling around loose under the chassis of a similar beast, that made
the repair job pretty easy. BTW, just plugging the guitar into the
return jack of the FX loop should have made a sound if the problem was
isolated in the preamp. Not likely.
