martindupras Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I have a Tech 21 SansAmp programmable Bass Driver + DI, which is practically new. I decided to use it at rehearsal yesterday to split my signal between my amp and the PA mixer. (I can't vouch for the PA mixer: it's a Peavey powered mixer at the rehearsal room we rented, but it looked like it was well maintained and in good condition.) My setup was: bass into tuner, into MXR Blowtorch, into the BDDI, from which the output went into my amp, and the XLR out into the PA mixer. That worked fine, except that after a few minutes I could smell like something was burning a little; the BDDI was still operating correctly and sounded ok, but the LEDs would not light up. Once I noticed the issue, I took it out of the chain. I'm confused. It's not a power supply issue because I was running the BDDI from a fresh new battery. The manual is quite clear that it's acceptable. It's not a phantom power issue because the BDDI *can* be powered from the XLR phantom power. Anyone have a clue? - martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protium Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Do the LED's look blackened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
