The VT 60 was made in the USA and was a very good sounding amp introduced by SLM (St. Louis Music) in 1989.
There are three channels: clean, crunch and overdrive.
You should be able to obtain a decent dirty using crunch channel but if I remember well you MUST have the dedicated pedal to switch channels and reverb.
Sounds like you have a loose connection. Try re-soldering the
internal connection. and check the wire for breaks. it may be the cause of your intermittence. Good Luck!!
I would check the power cord and switch first. I have replaced lots of these and the switches get dirty over time from drying out and/or wearing out. Make sure the fuse is good.
With no leads connected to speaker, use an ohmmeter to check resistance of speaker. If NOT less than 10 ohms, you be replacing the speaker. Also look for loose speaker wires. More than that and is will require repair in the shop.
Failure, likely in the power amp causing overloading of the power supply and dragging one power voltage into the range where the ripple voltage gets to the speaker. This is very ******* the speaker as it gets high DC current and can burn the voice coil. Slight chance that a filter capacitor has failed. In either case repair is needed.
Scroll down to "get manual" and click to download. IGNORE other download links.
When repairs have been done, start this up using a 100 or 150 watt incandescent lamp in series with the power cord to act as a fuse... There likely are several components blown and you may not get them all the first time. The lamp acts as a resettable current limiting fuse so you don''t blow out what you just replaced.
Sounds like a repair shop job to me. Inputs on a amp have resistance thus there must be a issue inside hence 0DB to 15DB if you go higher well that input thus would not work anymore.
Repair shop would be your best bet for this amplifier. Quick Fix would be unplug it and plug it back in and praying it resets but that won't happen.
hope this was of some help, if not I am sure others will chime in with there 0.2 cents.
If none of the inputs work, then you may have lost part of the power supply. DO NOT go into this amp under any circumstances !!!!...there is enough voltage in here to kill you crispy !! I would strongly recommend that you take it to a respected repair shop that specializes in guitar amps. Possibly visit the ampeg website for an authorized repair center. It might cost a few bucks, but the Ampeg is highly sought after by musicians everywhere !!!....thanks... Rob
