Mickyk Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Good Evening All, I have recently been using my phone as an MP3 player plugged into the aux in socket and practising with my over ear headphones so i don't disturb the wife's TV viewing. Any i may have plugged and unplugged the phone when the amp is still switched on..?Could this damage the speaker . The speaker is now making funny farting type noises especially when plucking lower notes to the point where it is basically unplayable ,so i fear that i have knackered something on the Amp. ??Can anybody suggest what i may have done. Amp is only just over six months old and purchased by myself brand new from G4M. PS..If this post is on the wrong thread feel free to move it.

kendall Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I would be very surprised if you can't unplug something without damaging the amp, irrespective of the power being on. Do the instructions warn against such an action? Sounds like a warranty claim to me. Contact G4M (and good luck with that......... was my last experience with them) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickyk Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Yes i was thinking the same thing but ironically enough it working fine before i started using my phone as an MP3 and headphones for silent practice. ?Does anyone know how to check the fuse on these things.

bertbass Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 If it's still working, it won't be the fuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikel Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 If its an amp with a dedicated aux in and headphone out what you have been doing should not be a problem. May simply be a faulty amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_c2 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I once had a similar issue with my amp......turns out (you'll laugh at this) that I'd inadvertently engaged the "overdrive", a feature which I never use and had forgotten existed. Pressed the button to turn it off and it was back to normal again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickyk Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Well this has got me stumped which doesn't take a lot with anything electrical so it's gone back to G4M for a warranty repair,Wouldn't expect a speaker blowing after only 6 months of use and it's never been had the volume knob over half way since i've had it.
