I have a Fender Deluxe Reissue that suffered a failure with the footswitch/channel selecting circuit.
It would power on but was stuck in the "drive" position producing very little signal.
I pulled the board.... Replaced all Illinois E-Caps with F&T caps, both K1 and K2 replays, U1.U2.U3.U4 Opamps, both JFETs, cleaned all jacks, replaced PI plate resistors and biased the amp to 65mA.
Clean channel now sounds great. Channel select works but when engaged in "drive" mode the signal is about 1/10th of what it should be.
All voltages look good on the tube socket pcb.
I'll really stuck and would appreciate any help in getting this "drive" channel work properly.
Thanks,
Tom
