I think R57 is in bad condition, could be the reason?

Have you tried cleaning or playing more with that volume pot, maybe every pots ... a lots of answers points to that direction.

I replace it and part of the problem dissapear, but I think R57 is in bad condition, I will try with a new 56 ohm 5W

Hi guys!

I replace C31, R56 and R57 becouse they look dark brown like looks like something that dripped out of the capacitor...

Also I replace volume knob A1M, the amps sound good now but with low volume... even If i turn up at maximum its sound just more distorted but not louder...

Some recomendations??

i would recommend you take some high definition gut shots of the amp, and post a thread at TDPRI, some super smart and helpful folks over there as far as tube amps go.
