59 Bassman LTP PTP Conversion Low output

[Maxsmart2014]

Greetings everyone,

First, I have learned so much from this forum and thank all of you for your posts.

I have just completed a conversion form stock LTD to a Mojo T point to point using the stock trannies. I have a 5U4 for the rectifier and Tung sol 5881s for output tubes all the pres. are all 12ax7. I have sound and can play through the amp, however, I do not have any tone control functionality and the amp is gutless flubby and the volume knobs only increase gain and not do much volume. I have double and triple checked the wiring. Please help!
Voltages are, (Heaters are all good so I left them out)

Turns out that a 47k resistor on the PI cathode will cause this behavior. Just in case anyone is looking for this type of thing Amp works Awesome now!

Here is a gut shot for anyone who is interested.
