danpb Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Hi guys, I've been running the Darkglass Microtubes 900 v2 (Limited edition if that matters?) for a while now and gigged and rehearsed with no problems. Yesterday I turned it on and it had developed what I can only describe as a constant 'static' noise, even when playing you can hear this in the background. I initially thought it was a cabling issue on a new pedalboard setup but it's there when plugged direct. I was playing through headphones so suspected those. They tested fine with another device so ruled that out. I don't have an interface to test the DI out and I haven't had an opportunity to test it with a cab as that's at our guitarist's house right now. I'm using the usual power socket I use, tried direct instead of with an extension, tried a different socket but it's still there so I don't think it's bad power all of a sudden. No inverters, neon lights etc that could be giving off interference. It's usually pretty silent even with drive in venues I know have terrible stage power that causes our guitarist's amp to crap out. Has anyone experienced this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muppet Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 So the only way you've been able to test it is with headphones? Have you go the cab sim engaged? Have you plugged it in to the Darkglass suite and updated the firmware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The suite says I have the latest firmware. I forgot to add I'd tried no cab sim and loaded others to try incase maybe the IR loaded had gone bad.

I agree it's unusual as these are dead silent normally. Did you get a chance to talk to the DG boys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cognitiveburp Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I'm getting the same problem. I've had issues with Darkglass products since my first purchase. I think it might be time for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
