Yamaha g100 112 iii burnt resistor

Noticed a burnt resistor, labelled 2p 390. The amp doesn't make any noise now. My question is, is there an underlying issue or should I just replace the resistor?

Hughes & Kettner Tubemeister 18 issue with effects loop.

Sorry for no video as I didnt think it was necessary.

I have this H&K18. Had all the tubes tested, checked the power amp itself, checked all my patch cables. Every time I plug into the return jack in the effects loop of the amp, my clean volume cuts to nothing. The dirty channel will engage a tiny bit of volume but thats it. When nothing is in the effects loop its fine. But the issue is I use a very nasty distortion and I need my noise gate in the effects loop because it cant handle all that gain.

Google says it can be a corroded jack or something as the other issues that it could be seem to not be the case. Is there anything I can do before I have to shell out for some big repair? This is my bedroom amp and its perfect for this.

Signal cutting out please help.

Hello everyone, so I'm a little newer to the tube amp game. Was able to buy my friend's old DT 15 Watt for $450. She only ever used it for studio recording. Now it sounded beautiful plugged into her V30 1x12 and I do have a plan to get an actual better cabinet but I have this old cheap behringer combo which doubles as a loud speaker for 2 bugera speakers. I have 8ohms running into one of the speakers that is listed for 8ohms with a speaker cable and I'm getting this terrible glitchy signal. Please tell me this is just the 14 year old bugera speaker and not the nearly brand new Orange amp I just spent half my paycheck on ;-;.
