Barely any sound in the left channel [resolved]

[Jimb0]

Getting some static and nearly no sound in left channel. Voltages checked out good. I also tried all three inputs same issue* Edit

Did you try all three inputs?

[Paul Birkeland]

I would start by resoldering all of the joints in the amp.  If that doesn't resolve the issue, try connecting a jumper between the upper and lower middle lugs on the volume pot to see if that brings back the left channel.

Yes, sorry I meant I tried different inputs in my first post

Sure I will try resoldering the joints. Also, how do I connect the jumper on the stepped attenuator? Which lugs will I be connecting?

Hi PB. Just got some time to work on this. So to be clear am I connecting Q3U and Q3L, Q8U and Q8L, Q11U and Q11L? Sorry if I'm not understanding this

[Paul Birkeland]

Wait, what? Did this work before the Two-Quiet?

[Jimb0]

I skipped the normal pots and upgraded it with the two quiet

[Paul Birkeland]

So, what I would have you do to debug the stock amp isn't all that easy to do on the 2-Quiet.  In fact, one could ruin the coarse switch attempting to do the debugging in the same way that debugging the amp with the pots could easily be done.

4U and 12U could be connected together to mostly ascertain whether the attenuators/input wiring are the problem or something else.

[Jimb0]

Thanks PB I'll try that out

[Jimb0]

I'm getting sound in both channels when 4U is connected to 12U

[Paul Birkeland]

Take that jumper out and jumper Q1 to Q5.

If you still have sound in both channels, then there's an issue between the attenuator and the RCA jacks.

If you lose one channel (which I think you will), then you have an issue with the build of the attenuator.

Thanks PB. Indeed I lost sound in the left channel again

[Jimb0]

I had the red wire from the fine switch bottom lug going to the bottom lug of the course switch when it should've been going to terminal 1. I can hear the sound on both sides now, however I'm getting mild hiss/static in both channels. Did I mess up the Two Quiet or is this something else?
