My EA68 Viper cuts out to like low volume, sometimes after a minute or two of correct louder volume, can anyone help me with a solution? Do these preamps go out and if so, is this a symptom? Who fixes this? Thanks for any help! I have had all wire connections, battery cord etc checked!

Replace the battery with a good one. Mine loose volume and sound crappy when the battery gets low.

Thanks for the battery suggestion, I will get a brand new one and try, I had re-inserted what seemed like a good one but it may just not be a perfect fit!

Is there a little light on those that comes on either to test the battery or when you plug in the cord? Some signal when the battery is low, but some of the older ones just sound weak.

It does sound like a battery problem, and I don't think the Thinline preamp has a power indicator.
