SisterAbdullahX Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) Hi all, Got a problem just developed with my Promethean P5210 combo. As of last weekend it has started distorting at all volume levels, through both 10s and both tweeters. I noticed it two gigs ago but seem to remember that the volume dropped first when I first turned amp on and had to turn it on and off to get the level right and noticed distortion problem later that night. I've tried plugging an iPod into the aux input and the distortion disappears, so obviously not a speaker problem. Tried different basses and leads and both speaker outputs to no avail. Just about to remove top panel from amp to see if there's anything obvious. I think it may still be covered by Thomann 3 year warranty but shipping back to them is a holy fanny on! Help!

wateroftyne Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Yep - mine had the same problem. Power dropped, started to distort. It was something to do with the jack socket - firmly jiggling the jack in the socket caused it to come back to life. Eventually I unscrewed the socket, reseated it and tightened it up and it's been OK since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SisterAbdullahX Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Cheers WoT, I'll give that a try. Typical, 3 year guarantee ran out 3 months ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
