Hartke TX600 Repair

I have a TX600 that has stopped working. With the gain up full I can get signal out but very quiet. No issue with DI or Line in, both work fine. I changed the power amp and pre amp tube to no avail. Any advice?
 
Power amp tube???

The first step is to verify that it’s not the speaker or speaker cable or the bass/cable itself. Then, try jumping the preamp out to power amp in jacks.
 
Yeah all cabling, cab and bass working fine with my Warwick set up. I have ran a pre amp directly into the power amp in and it's working but the hartke preamp out is not working so issue obviously now in the preamp side. New tube in it somcan rule that out anyway. Whats next?

The normal on the headphone out jack could be dirty. If it does not "normal) when nothing plugged into it, it will kill the audio to the amplifier section.
