Make sure you didn't swap U3 (THAT1512) with U4(THAT1646).
Is is the same without the tube plugged in?
Look for solder bridges, reversed diode, transistor or IC.

Problem test:

all tests passed, Voltage are fine, but 

DI Preamp Check (when I press the button preamp and increase the knob, no I've sound)
DIST Check (the same way, when I press the tube knob the sound leave)


Thnk in advance

You have probably destroyed the THAT1646 when swapped.

Hi JKP,

I've changed U3 and U4, now pre amp work fine, but when I push the DIST Botton in tube mode, the sound leaves.

:'(

THAKS IN ADVANCE

Hi JPK,

H=5.6V
HT=46.5V
V+=15.6V
V-=15.5V
TP1=0V
TP2=25.6 V
TP3=0V


Thnx

Mark

Check components value and solder joints of C9...C11, R17...R19, L1, TR1, J3, J4, SW3.

All measurements of the capacitors and resistors, such as the soldering, are fine, the switch commute., trimmer goes to 0- 50 k.

The only component I cannot measure is L1.:o (don't have the measuring tool for microhenries)

You can check the DC resistor which is about 160 ohms.
You can try to follow the signal with an AC voltmeter:
on TP2, R16 top, R17 down, R17 top, R18 down, R19 top, J3 pin1 (square pad).

Hi JPK,

I found the problem it's L1 (no measurement mH, I've bought the tool;))


Thxs for all
