From the start of this repair the amp had a distorted fuzz tone to as each note faded out at any volume level.
This type of issue I have always found to be caused by a tube or a speaker, but not with this amp!
Here is a list of what I have tryed to resolve the issue which still is taking place.
In no peticular order here's what I have tryed out.
1) tubes, no go.
2) speaker, no.
3) power supply filters, no.
4) install a good known output transformer from my own 100% fine Vibrochamp,no,
5) replace V1 tube socket, no.
6) replace output tube socket, no.
Jump out all 3 tone stack caps one at a time even after they tested good for ESR, no go.
7) jump first gain stage right to the output tube, no.
check grid load off of input jacks, no.9) unscrew and lift the tag board up off the insulator board, no.
10) check / test my newly installed cathode bypass caps and jump with new ones even though the ones I put in tested good, no.
11) test a ton of circuit points to other circuit points to test for stray resistance, no.
12) jump the volume pot out, no.
13) check all other grid load resistors in the audio path, no.
I am flat out of things to try here so anybody got any suggestions because I could have built 3 of these amps in the time I have been messin with this thing!
