Hiwatt Bulldog 30r solid state has no sound

Well if their tube amp wasn't bad enough,
now my Hiwatt bulldog 30r has gone kaput. :'(

I am not getting any sound when I plug in to either the high or low inputs or
use the distortion.Tried different cables, guitars etc.The spring reverb control is making some sound, which I hear through the speakers with nothing plugged in. The tone controls are not making any sound.
The whole amp works off the tl072 chip which is on a separate little pcb.
There are a couple of 4558 chips in there as well.The power light lights up as well.

Was working yesterday. Don't know what happened.
If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all with Hiwatt.
Any ideas?

Okay it's working! :)
I must have screwed up something when I was taking out the silver mica caps I put in.
I resoldered the speaker wires and input jack and it's working.Whew!
