MJE Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I’ve owned this amp for a good few years now and the only problem I’d ever had was a build up of debris on the switch which led to power interruptions. When I started using a Zoom B3 I was using that to send signal to FoH instead of using the built in out on the back of the amp. However, after some problems with the pedal I went back to the DI on the back of the amp on a gig last night and the sound guy was complaining about the lack of signal being pushed to the desk (it was also very noticeable through our IEMs) even through the line out level on the amp was high. Has anyone else had any problems with the out on the back of their amp? Is there an obvious explanation/fix for this that anyone has ever encountered? Any help appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) On the amp control panel, the Line Out knob, far right under the on/off switch adjusts the DI level out. where have you got that set? I've never had to set it more than halfway for a strong signal. Edited December 15, 2019 by Muppet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me neither - until yesterday... that’s why I’m thinking there’s a fault somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 pre/post DI switch on the back? Can't think of anything else...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songofthewind Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 DI control on front panel. If you haven’t used it much there may be oxidation in the potentiometer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trueno Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I used to have one of these amps and the DI out was always too hot for the desk. I used the DI on my EBS Microbass pedal. I had no idea you could change the level, but it was about 12 years ago so maybe the amp has changed a bit... quite possible I missed it, though. As it happened, the DI from the EBS wasn't too shabby... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mybass Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Maybe the sound guys gear wasn’t working correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
