Little Mark problem?

[tallmanmax]

I recently purchased a lightweight Markbass rig consisting of a couple TRV210's and a Little Mark III. Just what the chiropractor ordered.

When switching the amp on there is a soft 'click', then, after a few seconds there's a more pronounced, louder 'click'..............is this normal, or a fault waiting to get worse?

All are new, although the amp may have been used as a display item in the stores bass room.

Max.

My MB Little Rocker does that, I think it's a soft start function for the Amp so nothing to be worried about.

Are you starting the amp with gain and volume up then ?

I've a little mark but always turn it on with controls at zero , so I've no idea if mine does this

No, gain and volume at zero. The noise is coming from the amp, which when I tried it last night, powered up but didn't send anything to the speakers.

After consulting the 'manual' and checking the new cables etc............. no second click and nowt to speakers. Looks like a trip back to the not so local musical instrument emporium for a replacement. Bugger.
