Bending accident : PT-88 still fully works but volume very low...

Hi benders,
Everything is in the title : I was bending a PT-88 and I probably did something wrong as now volume is very low. All sounds & features fully working though...
So : is there a way I could boost the volume back ? Even if this implies adding an opamp or so...
Thanks in advance for your tips !

I'm not too familiar with the PT's, but you may have just burnt out the volume control resistor. If that's it, it's as easy as finding the value of it and replacing it.

PT-88 is very similar to SA-1 according to the "Warranty Void" website.
I can't see any dead resistor (I think you can see it when one is burnt) but I'll look closer tomorrow. Any other ideas ? Maybe the C2120Y ? Isn't this an amplifier ?...
