nicNow there is sound, but bad.
So I reversed the "effects loop" reconnecting the Master wiper to the trace on the PCB. With all the knobs to 10 I am getting a consistent and sizzly distortion sound that dies out quickly as the string decays. The amp is NOT loud, quieter than a champ. And the distortion is ugly. I am starting to wonder if it is the transformer and maybe something in the preamp.
