How do I access the tubes in guitar amp.?

The tubes in my amp burned out a couple days ago. The only way to get inside the amp is from what you see, and the tubes are on the other side of all this weird technology. How am I supposed to get to the tubes with damaging the amp?

    You probably have to remove the whole of the electronics from the frame(box) of the amp by undoing some of the screws atop around the control knobs.

    UNPLUG!!!! And avoid touching the capacitors and power transformers.

    Considering how much you need to remove, please have a qualified tech do this. There is a good chance of getting electrocuted if you do not know which capacitors to discharge and how. You could leave it unplugged for days and the caps would still hold enough current to kill you on the spot.
