advice needed- blown repair

2007-09-14 by spistrich

Ok I messed up... while trying to find out which one of my 6 SSM-2056 
chips was not working ( every 6th note would not play)  by switching 
chips around as directed in earlier posts  on this site ,I 
inadvertantly placed one in backward, making  the reverse contact in 
the Voice# 0  socket,,,, so I blow both 1 amp fuses...got them replaced 
and now I get blurry,quiet,less defined sounds in all patches. Changing 
patch # does change the tone, but the sounds are bad and 
indistinct.Totally NOT NORMAL.   Better on 'unison', but  still blank  
notes on 'poly'  probably from the bad ssm-2056... yet all notes play 
on unison. the problem is the degraded tone quality...any ideas of what 
might have blown with one reversed ssm-2056 other than the fuses?
