100W Ultimate Fidelity Amplifier

My pcb is ready to populate, expecting to complete it within this sunday.

Completed my First Apex Amplifier. I'm facing some problems that are:
1). I'm getting 0V across 0.33E resistor ( no variation with preset adjustment)
2). Sound is somewhat like mid is high causing bass to be low.

please help me to fix these problems, as i read lot about SR150's sound performance, but my SR150 is not sounding that much as expected.
 
A2

Not tested, please check for errors.
Sprint layout attached.

Your fuses are blown.

EDIT; Looks like the 10R resistor is blown on the + side also. I see you relabeled the pins of the transistors. You can't do that. E is E, C is C and B is B. All you did was spin the transistor.

OK. Replaced all fuses & blown MJ15003.Checked all other Transistors & resistors. See attached. NOW have 274MV on output. +side draws 67.8MV across 10R in Series & -side draws 87.6mv across 10R in series.

Did NOT relabel anything on Orig Sch.

Check the solder joint on the collector of the BC639. If you look at your schematic you will see that you have -40V on the collector yet +1 on the base of the BD140. Those should be connected and have the same voltage.
