Nice work, great to hear that.  

You mean open trace, not shorted, right? 

The toasted resistor took out the copper running underneath it? Wow.

Yet, you didn't have to replace the transistors there ...

So you have the rear-jack mod. I heard these mods were done by ADA
themselves. Probably due to player demand to have a high-Z input in
the back, same as the front.

I suspected that. If you didn't have the mod, the symptoms couldn't
be exactly the same through either jack, given what the root cause
was.

Please. By the way, I just hunted down some Microcab schematics
and put them up. I had to get two pieces of a multi-part Zip
archive from two different websites!
