Do you mean the Hi/Lo power switch or the two input jacks? The input jacks are two different sensitivities and have little to do with output power.
All Music Man amps with the Hi/Lo power settings run at 1/2 rated power in the "Lo" power position. A 65 watt amp will produce 65 watts RMS when set to "Hi" power and about 32 watts in the "Lo" position.
It is hard to say what your Reverb problem is. The noise problem and reverb failure are no doubt related. I would look for damaged or burnt components and cold solder joints in the area that has the reverb amp circuits (schematics available online... find the link on this site's home page).
It is also possible you have a dried-out electrolytic capacitor in this same area. When in doubt, change them all! Consult the schematic for the most likely culprits.
