I thought I did, but I could have missed something. I will check that again. Yes both switches are down in the pedal mode.

Also try without pedal in manual mode.... just to be sure it's the amp and not the pedal.

The amp is finally up and running Grin. Once again, thanks to all of you who took the time to help me out on this project. After nearly rebuilding the whole amp, I plugged the guitar in it, and started to check connections with a chopstick. Turns out that the overdrive relay wasn't making a good connection with the socket. When I would push on the relay the amp came on in overdrive, and when I let off of it the sound would dissapear. I am going to put it back together, and retension the socket for the relay. Thanks again for all the help and support. You guys are a great bunch.
Cheers!!

One final comment. I emailed Nik and he gave me a great little tip, that I thought I would pass along, so no one else goes through the same frustration I did. He said that they cable tie the relays right to the board, then mount them to the chassis. Seems simple, and academic, but it works like a champ. I have been playing the amp for a good two hours with no glitches. Grin Grin

Good to hear that... normally these things are something stupid... and as such hard to detect. Take it as a great learning experience as now after all this activities you know more about amps don't you.

So it like... tanks God for this, as it made me better.
