Some time back I took in this amp for repair finding a TLO74 (IC101) had burnt. I socketed and replaced both A & B channel. The A channel remained with a weak output. I checked everything I could.
It occured to me that it might be something in the vicinity of the burnt TLO74 so I started looking at a J176 (Q101) and the optocoupler (OC101) right near it. When I measured the J-FET I got high but even readings with the ohm meter about G-S 1.025, G-D 1.041. But checking the B channel more like 0.025. Neither seems right but the B channel works so I'm assuming I need to change the A channel J-Fet.
Checking the optocoupler I measure 1.775 diode mode and nothing on the sensor side. These are not consistent with the working channel. So I need to replace the coupler also.
My question is if these two devices are bad, will it affect the speaker outputs? Ampeg_svt_4pro_sch.pdf Pg 4
