cheddatom Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I've had it before when i've lent my bass amp to other bands and they run it too loud, the yellow warning light keeps flicking, and then at some point it dies with a big pop and the yellow light stays on permanently. You just turn it off and on and it works fine again. Well, last night I was playing for the first time in ages and it kept happening every few minutes, even though I wasn't loud enough to make the yellow light come on (until it popped). It only seems to happen when i've got my pedalboard on, but I do have a gate which totally gets rid of all noise between notes and all feedback etc (I have a lot of distortion and compression) so I can't figure it out! Is there a way my board could be sending a weird spike? Why can I not hear the spike? Can the amp be overloading from something other than input volume?

alexclaber Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Could it be sub 50Hz output which you can't hear because the speaker doesn't do well down there but is still placing demands on the amp? Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Well on the graphic EQ I have the bottom fader (can't remember the frequency) right down, otherwise yeh, I don't see why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
