HOLY SCHNEIKEES!! Jason emailed me the schematic to me - FOUR (4) minutes after I sent the email out requesting it!!!!!! I am not sure how that was even physically possible. Once again, thank you B-string!!!!

My friend Bob had it on his bench and got the same results as I did. That's good. So now we wait...

This could be as simple as a bad op-amp.

Possible, could also be fretted contacts in the effects return jack. This connection is before the final gain stages.

Yes indeed, I'm in Lakeview. There are a lotta Chicago TBers, keep your eyes pelled for the odd GTG (they usually happen at Lakland). If you were the merch guy, we were probably a few feet from you after the show, standing in the longa** coat check line. The show was indeed awesome.

I have mentioned both of these possibilities to my amp guy - thanks!!

Greg, that's excellent. I sure will. Yeah, the coat line sucked, haha. I also had NO idea Lakland was right up the road from me...nice! Where do the GTGs usually get posted? I'll definitely keep an eye out.

Yep, they're on the North Side, here's the address: http://lakland.com/contact.htm

They had one in October, so the next one may not be for a while. The GTGs get posted in the "Social Events & GTGs" subforum.

SOLVED. It took 4 months. :/

Anyway, it was all buttoned up when I went back to get it today. The problem was a little capacitor about the size of a green pea. The case of the capacitor looked like it was made out of clothesline rope. Unfortunately the amp guy didn't really say where it was in the circuit or on the board, but it absolutely KILLS now. I can't stand next to my D410XLT / Crown PBII with the clean channel halfway up and the main at about 9 o'clock.

The point of this thread was to perhaps make a reference for people who might end up having this problem; unfortunately this is as helpful as it gets. Maybe I can cojole him for more details...

From the description sounds like an electrolytic cap that blew it's casing off.

Glad you got it sorted. I love GK stuff! Glad your tech was able to figure it out.

Cheers,
