because something in it is shorted..shop time.

did it blow a fuse or is it just dead?

Shorted instrument cable. Try a different cable.

Are all the tubes lighting up? they should glow like dim light bulbs. If not, replace them with the same model type (12ax7, or EL34 for example).Often there are two fuses, one to protect the speaker and another to protect everything, it sounds like the latter fuse may be burned out. take it out and take it to radio Shack for exact replacement.
