Dude,

we need to do proper testing on it. This will rule out the Avalon or not.
If you send it my way, I will sort it for you free of charge as long as you cover shipping.

Like pucho mentioned, you can narrow down the testing a lot if you use the line input instead of mic, and turn all the buttons off on the front (so they are not lit up.) This will remove a bunch of things from the signal path: equalizer, compressor, input transformer, Hi-Z circuit, half the gain knob, tubes V1 and V4, some relays, etc. Much simpler signal path. Plus the VU meter will show output signal strength instead of compression. But if you can send it to him, I'm sure it will get figured out.

sometimes it's just faster.
I had a client hit me up over the weekend with his black cat vibrato pedal. After decades of use a couple of the plastic 1/4" jacks cracked and broke. sends me photos and starts asking questions about replacement of the jacks. rather then Spend 2 hours back and forth about will this jack work, etc. Much faster in the long run to just send me the pedal and I put in new jacks.
