Ok hey all gotta nightmare in progress again now. after whatever happened was previous weakened trace under the socket that melted and blew and arc nightmare cratered the board that's fixed with wire, holding now soldered straight to the diodes etc...hooked up the EQ board plug wrong and missed a Pin and some wired pulled off the board for like the footswitch...so now the WHOLE front end is DEAD...Checking A6 IC wondering if that blew? no LEDs nothing just Hum but seems like switching is working and replaced FETs...fixed the LV side burnt the V+ and V- R133 and R132 1/4watts put in some 1 watts it charred the V+ again drifted a little but holding V+ right at 14.5v and minus 14.9v no more smoke. and getting everywhere tried different opamps no difference still dead....Order some new filters and sockets..A Disaster occurred haha
I don't think that crater over there is fixeable Lol, checked some low stuff kinda reading A4 just checked only at 13.5v at least getting there.
A2 at 18-19v and about the rest of the main ones need to check the EQ board ones etc.

Yeah confirmed Rails are all looking good does this sound like that IC/A6 the 14049?...unless something else... I changed some of the FETs suspects, not sure if the 25550s specifically that one could do that? all diodes meter out well so not that it seems... yeah dark nothing no LEDs etc.. and I don't have 25550 replacements I don't think would need to order some... got some 14049s on the way new sockets Beltons and 47uf F&Ts coming go a little higher on a dropper I do have but probably not even needed right? etc.
man this thing could be turned KILLER

okay the Rhythm channel works now...still no LEDs and not switching into the Lead/hi-lead and the EQ engage/graphic not working either...doing better progress.
