MP566-II Tube microphone preamplifier with HPF / Possible ICs fried MP566-II

I recently built the MP566-II Tube pre and when I first powered it on I could not get any sound out of it. So I removed it and discovered I had a solder bridge on the back of the header pins to the tube PCB. I fixed the bridge and ran it again. It puts out sound but very quiet, not enough to register signal but I can hear it faintly. It also distorts heavily when I turn up the gain knob or output knob. I know shorting leads can fry the ICs. Does this sound like what I did? If so I will order new ones. Thank you.
