On the 201 and 401, the Master Volume for the whole amp is on the far right of the faceplate, next to the on/off and standby, but if you don't have the gain turned up for the clean (green) channel, you'll get nothing because that's what controls the volume for the clean. If you crank the gain on that channel, you can get it to break up a little, like the classic amps of old.

If this isn't the problem, like you have no sound on any channel or something, it may be the bridge rectifier or a tube issue. You may want to repost this question in the Workbench thread, as it can be seen easier and you'll get more help in the future.
