On Sat, lost volume on Song#2, came back and played for another 2.25 hrs withoug problem then failed on the final track. I've been putting this down to the MM Stingray as I thought the Jack Socket was playing up (Again, new batteries btw). Went to my local store and explained the problem to the guy who has done may of my set-ups and repairs in the past. He felt that it could be the send / receive effects loop (never used) that was cutting in and out. Anyone come across this before, for the first time I noticed that the Input Gain Led's were flashing although there was little / no volume which suggested something was getting through to the amp. I having the thing serviced but am interested in anyone elses experiences with TE problems of this nature. Thanks[/quote] Hi there, I'm not sure if we have the same amp as I don't know the number (I never look at these details)! Mine's the 12 band new 2x10 combo. I might have the same problem as you although I won't know till' later this week. At my last rehearsal last week my amp was cutting in and out volume. Couldn't see the gain panel as I was standing too close and it's quite near the floor! The thing that strikes me is that I [b]was [/b]using the effects loop. The amp is almost new, it's been used to re-amp recorded tracks for a few months and done one gig - no problems until last rehearsal. The issue may be a dodgy lead - jack to jack so until this Weds when I try again (and replace the lead) I won't know. Even then the issue was intermittent. Dodgy lead could cause this as could dodgy amp!
