Irish77960 had contacted me by pm about a issue with his amp.
He had installed a brite switch in one of the preamp boards that I provided him and things where fine.
While playing the amp he turned it up louder , played more and then heard a loud pop and lost output, but the strange thing is that the pilot lamp was still responding normal to his playing by dimming which is something I have never seen before!

So far in trouble shooting this issue I had him check the output from the amps RCA jack where he said that there is a screaming loud sound coming out if the jack.

My guess at this point is that one of the preamps is oscillating.

Irish77960 , at this point we neeed to pin down what's going on , and I would say that the thing to do is to unhook the Blue audio output wire from each preamp one at a time to see if atleast one channel is working normal and report back.
