Help for CARLSBRO GLX 40 Special Red Edition Schematics

      Hello to everybody from Belgrade, Serbia.
    Last month I bought this extraordinary second hand guitar amp in very good condition, here in Serbia,(import from Germany) but there is ,,minor" electronic issue...this amp has no distortion channel at all. Somebody in Germany did some ,,surgery" on this amp and eliminated a few transistors, diodes, resistors and OD switch from the PC board completely, drilled the front panel above the missing OD switch and installed one more input jack.Jack is wired inside with half of that same missing parts from board and that second channel actually works!  But only if you plugged in that added input socket...so, this amp now has two independent clean channels.
      Really don't know the reason why somebody, ,,butchered" this piece of art, maybe converted this classic guitar amp into an acoustic amp with artificial input for mic or something else. On the PC board there is no burning traces.
      My question is: Can anybody help me with this? I really wanna fix that amp and convert him into the previous condition. I can't find anything about fixing this amp on the internet, especially missing schematics and service manuals.
      Without this data, my hands are tights. I am already taking precise foto what parts are missing and what parts are dislocated to be funkcional.
    Massive thanks in advance!
