WEM Mk4 Copicat - low volume output

[valves4amps]

Hi Rob, there is a straight through route for the signal without echo, this should be able to be as loud as if it were not in circuit. Adjusted with the gain control, if the straight thro' signal and echo are both low volume then it will be as I've posted earlier the coupling capacitors that have dried out. If it is only the echo which is low volume then it will be the signal coming from the heads which could be either when it's recorded or playback. To determine this the echo effect should be turned off. The swell switch should turn the motor off and therefore you will not get any echo signal through, just the dry signal. If this is then still low volume your heads would appear to be ok and the fault is as said earlier dried coupling caps.
