I hear you on that one. I'm fairly certain that nothing was damaged while removing the LEDs themselves. While removing the entire board, on the other hand, I could have moved something a way it didn't want to move so I'm looking into that now. Here's the schematic. If I were to replace the LEDs to see if that was the issue, how do I go about finding which lead goes where aka which is the anode and which is the cathode? Probably should've paid better attention to that. Thanks in advance for your help.

I run a small studio and have built many pieces of recording gear successfully. Figures my first amp mod and I botch something. I read about a mod that would increase my amps headroom by removing two LEDs. So I used a soldering pump to remove the two LEDs in my Vox Pathfinder 10 (V9106), plugged it in AND... nothing. It still powers on but that's as far as it goes. Has anyone else had experience with this mod?
