If the sound effects work, it's very likely an op-amp has failed, or maybe the DAC. If the sound effects are similarly affected it could be the main amp caps or the amp itself. Really needs someone with an oscilloscope to diagnose properly.

I can't remember if this one needs -5v, I'm assuming your cab has that though.
