my ego driver, which worked perfectly, has ceased to work properly.
problem: with all 3 pots all the way up the volume is still very low.
the gain seems to work, it is too quiet to tell about tone, and the volume must be cranked to hear it all.
i have checked for unwanted bridges and every thing seems good. leading up to the problem the jacks loosened possibly causing some unwanted connections. if i remember properly i was getting no sound when the pedal was engaged and after working on it no sound ever, and i don't remember how i eventually had very low output. at some point in time i think i remember seeing a strand of wire that possibly was connecting terminals 2 & 3 on the gain section of the pcb. i think i have a failed component somewhere.
does anyone have a guess of where to start?

i will probably be slow to respond because i won't be online tomorrow.
