Really basic question about Tubelab SSE amp

Greetings! I recently purchased a built and assembled Tubelab SSE amp.

The rectifier tube is in place and the heaters are glowing.

How do I know if the solid state rectifier is being used? Would the filaments glow on the rectifier tube if the SS rectifier was on? Should the tube be installed if the SS rectifier is in use?


Thanks!
 
Got it figured out. Confirmed that the solid state rectifier is not being used.

I was corn-fused because the connectors were soldered onto the bottom of the SSE board, got all discombobulated when comparing to the Tubelab drawing.
