That you don't actually have 2 broken amps but rather probably just a cold solder joint in your guitar wiring after tearing apart one amp multiple times and racking my brain as to what could be wrong.
I once spent hours figuring out what was wrong with my amp, then guitar. Then amps and guitars. Then I thought, "Surely, it's not the cable." But indeed, it was the cable. :-\

I spent almost an entire weekend trying to repair an amp and it turned out to be the speaker cable. :-[
Had it happen so many times now that I always rule out the cable first (different cable) and guitar jack (different guitar), before I start to panic.
I actually think one of my amps does have an intermittent issue which doesn't help but when both started doing the same thing I got suspicious.
I had a cracked solder joint on a Fender amp that made a odd distortion only when I played an Eb.
Took me forever to find.

Yeah I had that on the input jack before and fixed that now it gives that distortion once and a while I smack it and it works again but now I'm getting static from my guitar I think. I should look at the input jack but I don't really feel like taking anything apart because I'm waiting on new pups to install sometime this week, I'll just take care of it then hopefully.
