This is the second time that i have ran across this in a vintage Fender amp.With the grounding on the Cathode Capacitor. The vibrato channel sounds good but the Normal channel sounds a little off,but still sounds ok.So i checked the grounding with my multi-meter checking for continuity and it shows ok. But i have came across this before.So i new what to do, i reheated the solder joints removing all the old stuff and applying new solder,Sound problem fixed. So the lesson here is even tho it shows it being good a solder joint can still be bad.

It is very good to know that joncarr1979, thank's very much.

I see that sometimes, with multimeter, ground read good but it need a new solder for the amp work good.
