tallmanmax Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddys nose Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 My MB Little Rocker does that, I think it's a soft start function for the Amp so nothing to be worried about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lojo Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallmanmax Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
