k, i got the jacks and installed them, and now i'm having an issue with this thing i've never seen with an amp before...
i plug in the guitar, and turn on the amp. i strum the guitar. there is no sound. i get confused. open it up, check the solder joints (especially the ones i made), test the big caps and transistors, they work.
now, i know it's getting the signal through it. when i switch over to the drive channel and turn the gain way up, i hear a massive hissing (from the distortion) and very little of my guitar coming out the speakers.
i checked it with three different guitars, each with different pickup styles (single coils, humbuckers, actives), and different cables. stereo and mono (it's a stereo amp, so i didn't know if i could "trick" it).
what could be happening? how could i fix whatever could be happening or test to see if that's actually it?
thanks in advance!
