It's a resistor, google it.

the colors tell you how many ohms it is //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

lol, that would be a resistor...

And your amp is NOT working fine now, they usually don't include extra parts that serve no purpose in the final design //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

if it's working fine keep playing it.....I don't know much about amps but it could cause it to blow in the near future

If the amps not under warranty then open it up & see where it came loose & re-solder it in. Actually prob need to get a new one as those leads prob aren't long enough, they're super cheap though.

No it's not. There's a circuit in there that's no longer functioning as designed. Meaning it could be something as small as the phase shift feature not working anymore, but it could also be as big as one of power transistors no longer being connected properly and one of your rail voltages being off. Like I said, they don't include extra parts for nothing, your amp is NOT working working fine, your lucky it's even working at all.
