I already have replaced the transistors and the resistor. I still have no output out of the speaker outs. The headphone jack and the line out work just fine though.

if you've got something causing a fault brand new transistors can go pops within seconds of power up if it hasn't been fixed and you're not using a current limiting device (like a lightbulb limiter)

i get wanting to jump right in but solid state amps are even less forgiving to work on than tube amps

UPDATE: Finally found a schematic from dr. Tube (I had to email him for it) after speaking to him he said it is the ground break on the headphone jack being faulty and c30 (the capacitor r32 is connected to) was bad. Replaced r32 (10 ohm), c30 and jk2 (the headphone jack) and it works!

Really not a bad little amp and actually loud as heck!

Thank you to everyone who tried to help. I greatly appreciate it.

Sorry to bump in but I need some help. I have a mg15 szw. It’s the Zack Wylde edition. Keeps blowing fuse on start up. I can’t find the schematic. Can anyone help me please?

completely different amp, should start a new thread
if you are not familiar working on solid state amps i would get it to someone who is as it is quite easy to "fix it more broken" with solid state
