Clean the tube contacts, mechanical connections and potentiometers. I would use a flux remover or tuner cleaner made specifically for electronics. Hopefully, that's all you'll need. Might check the tubes too and make sure they're all fresh.

IS it a tube or SS amp. I have a SS Crate that used to do that and it ended up being a connection where the foot pedal jack was.

Definitely check your tubes if it's standard Marshall stuff.

Good luck with that. I used to have an intermittent problem with my Peavey head, and sometimes the problem wouldn't happen when it was in the shop, so it took a couple tries to get it fixed.
