[QUOTE="csweldon, post: 82537, member: 2723"] After assuming it was somehow tube-related, I switched out the tubes, rebiased and nothing had changed. I tried jumpering the effects loop, cleaning the tube sockets (hey, it should be done from time to time anyway, right?) I turns out the problem was SO very obvious. I'll give you a moment to guess... Did you guess? Alright. If your guess was "input jack," then you are correct. In a fit of desperation, I started wiggling my input cable, and when I pushed down on it lightly my signal went back to the way I remember it: ballsy, full and all around beautiful! I pulled the chassis, pushed the pins inward slightly, cleaned it for good measure and now I'm back in business. Plus, I have an extra batch of tubes for when they ARE the issue :lol: I still may want to have it replaced at some point (professionally; it's one of those plastic-enclosed jacks and is soldered to the boost circuit board. A little above my skill level!) but right now things are working great! Anyway, thanks again for your help, everyone. I really appreciate you taking the time to read and respond. Now, back to playing! [/QUOTE]
