Ampeg SGT-DI Direct Output Not Working

I need help troubleshooting. My SGT-DI has been working like a champ until I went and plugged in tonight. Nothing has changed with my setup. It has been sitting there, untouched since the last time I played it (worked fine then).

So the issue is that the signal is extremely faint and very distorted coming from the Direct Output and the headphone out. If I run from the Preamp Out it sounds normal. I looked at the schematic and it doesn’t look like much happens between the pre out and the direct out other than the IR stuff which I don’t use and have disengaged.

Thoughts on what could be going on here?

Thanks!
