Re: Got my new plexi together , no sound and voltage issue?
Your voltage readings are not way off but V2 does seem a bit high on the grid of the cathode follower.
I would check over your tone stack wiring and particluarly the mica cap. Then follow the comnnections out of the tone stack through the two coupling caps to the pots. Are the voltage readings on pin 7 and pin 8 of V2 variable depending on where the pots are set on the treble/mids and bass?
Confess I cannot see any wiring mistakes either.......................

I'll have to check those voltages when I change the pot settings

Ok on v2 pin 7 and 8 there are no changes to voltage when treble ,mids or bass are moved.....

Re: Got my new plexi together , no sound and voltage issue?
I set my volt ohm meter to test (where it beeps if touch two leads together ) and tested my grounds, all seem to be good!is there a wire off of treble pot that I can lift off and send a line level from another amp to by pass preamp of plexi to try and locate if problem is in power amp side or preamp???

Re: Got my new plexi together , no sound and voltage issue?
Yes youmcan wire a jack off the output of the treble and send that to another amp and wire a jack off the input of the PI and use that as a return for another preamp. You can drill holes and wire those together in suach a way that you make the simple effects loop since you are half way at that point.
