Re: Crate SS amp problem...?

aris	Re: Crate SS amp problem...? I'm not really sure where to start checking for voltages in the pre-amp. Nothing feels hot, not even warm. Around the board, there are 5 8-legged chips, 20 or so small half-cylindrical 3-legged chips and 4 big flat 3-legged guys . I am suspicious of the red LED that should light up when the overdrive channel is selected...it does not light up. The switch has one of the small 3-legged half-cylinders up against it. Please point me in some direction...thanks! Aris
