Tremolo issue on my ‘69 Bandmaster Reverb

Howdy.

Here's the issue: My tremolo doesn't seem to be getting any guitar signal. I can hear the background noise change with me increasing and decreasing the intensity and speed pots, but my guitar signal is unaffected.

Here's what I've tried:

Replacing the tremolo driver tube (with a handful of tubes to ensure it's not that)
Changed out all of the old white Mallory caps with new Spragues
Inspected the roach/photocell (it lights up and changes with the pots)
Touched up and reflowed the solder on the entire tremolo section

Is anyone able to offer insight as to what might be the issue?

Thanks!

You know, I haven't. But I definitely will!

Are you using a footswitch or a shorted plug in the footswitch jack for the tremolo?

Well, I tried using a new ringtone, and what would you know? It fixed it.

Thanks Joe Scammer.
