I was initially thinking switch too, but the trem switch would have to fail open while the verb switch would have to fail short, which didn’t seem plausible for me. Plus,the verb can be heard if we jostle the amp, and the verb foot switch is post tank.
I do not recommend going and replacing everything as slider313 suggested. While the shotgun approach can work, it requires a lot of work to maybe solve a problem. Proper diagnosis will save you time. Then once The amp is working, you can consider replacing parts preemptively, some amount of maintainence is obviously recommended. But it shouldn’t be a solution to a problem you haven’t identified.
Just my opinion of course
