OK Team, thanks for EVERYONE's help and inputs. I'll add this to the top for other's potentially looking for a solution. I found my cheap $10 RadioShack DMM and was able to ops test per the help in this thread and the amp is ALIVE!
I can't reroute the wires now, but I was able to conclude it is indeed the weird choice of bootleggers to reverse the wires. So...
My bootleg does not have sound (for future searches): See this thread for sound issues posted by @twistedsymphony his solution was right and my PCB has sound!
a lot of bootlegs will run ground to speaker + and then the out- is routed to speaker- while most cabs are ok with this most superguns are not.
I would first check to see if speaker + and - are actually routed to out + and - on the amp.
it's entirely possible that it's working fine but your setup doesn't support the way it's wired.
