Sometimes when I am playing, the volume dies completely then returns sporadically during the session. What would cause this and how do I fix it?
Cracked solder joint, bad pot, dirty insert jack

No the 'send' socket is to plug in an external effects unit (it may also be used to feed a slave amp) but it will not disconnect the loudspeaker

Overdrive is the key to the crunchy metal sound. The only effect on that amp is reverb.
You may want to consider getting an overdrive pedal to get the sound you want.

Take it for repair immediately as there is something that is thermally sensitive and it may cause worse damage with continued use. The problem is LIKELY a broken solder joint. Depending on where it is, it could cause damage to the power amp portion. It OFTEN is at one of the leads to a volume control and those USUALLY don't cause damage, but one can't be sure till it is repaired. These broken joints oxidize and then eventually warm and punch through and the device starts working. You MIGHT want to try wiggling the controls to see if one brings the unit on immediately showing itself as the culprit.
