The plastic body just fell apart. It wasn't as if I kept plugging
things in and out.
I do leave the amp on continuously - could this have an effect?


I doubt it, if anything, heating up and then cooling down again would be
more likely to damage it.

Like I said, it's a common problem, if that make you feel any better.
