Hello all! Just acquired my first Kustom and I'm very excited to get it up and running 100%. This is the 4x10 K150 with the built in Trem/Vibe and Reverb. The right side High and Low inputs work perfectly however, the left side High and Low have the same issue. When plugged in and turned on there is no output other than an annoying distorted buzz until I turn on the Intensity knob for the Trem/Vibe. Once I do this I have some output, not even half as loud as the right channel and the Treble, Bass, and the rest of the knobs, except the volume, work as they should. I have checked the PC1500 board and the pots are all testing fine as well as the resistors, diodes, and caps are testing normally. I was thinking it could be a transistor and testing ruled that out as well. Any ideas!? Thanks in advance!
