Guitar Amp issue!

GamerzCentralYT

Hello my name is Joey, I own a Peavey Valveking 100. The clean channel works and the distortion channel is very weak and is not distorted and is not providing the proper distortion. I have replaced replaced the lead channel relay and the gain boost relay and those replacements have not solved the issue. I am not sure what to troubleshoot next if anyone has guidence or experience on this issue it would be greatly appreciated.

ugh having a similar issue with my Fender Stage 160 DSP Combo  ...the sound is there but barely, this thing is so loud usually i cant put it past 2/10 without disturbing the peace and now at ten its barely anything :( at first i wasnt able to get any sound at all because the port for the instrument cable became disconnected so i soldered it back on and then this is what i get now

P.S. its on both channels

ugh it is frustrating, i spent a lot of money on that amp, now maybe you might know something about this: I have a Jackson and i hadnt used it in awhile but i go to use it no sound i wiggle the cable a tiny bit of something would come out but not full sound, then i think must be a wiring issue on the input on the guitar take it apart all the solder poiunts and wires are looking good throughout the whole back of the guitar and input, any ideas???? Pickups maybe? if it was would you know how to get to them?
