Hello my name is Joey, I own a Peavey Valveking 100. The clean channel works and the distortion channel is very weak and is not distorted and is not providing the proper distortion. I have replaced replaced the lead channel relay and the gain boost relay and those replacements have not solved the issue. I am not sure what to troubleshoot next if anyone has guidence or experience on this issue it would be greatly appreciated.

Probably the easiest/first step would be tube substitution. Could be as simple as a bad preamp tube."I took a photo of my ohm meter... It didn't help." Enzo 8/20/22 -

Well, V2 is the only tube that is used by the distortion channel alone. Do you have a voltmeter and the skill set to measure high voltages safely?Originally posted by tomarchjoey View Post
If you do, then you should measure the voltages at the plates and cathodes of V2.
If you don't, then can you tell if the filaments are lighting up in V2?Comment
