Open E Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) I'm experiencing signal break up on my TC Electronic RH750. I've checked the gain setting isn't too high and have no effects selected on the amp. I switch to another amp and it goes away so can't be the cab or the bass. It sounds like a distortion that not part of the bass signal ie, not like a regular dialled in distortion. Any ideas out there?

BassmanPaul Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) It could be that you're just running out of headroom. The RH heads are not that powerful . Edited May 2, 2023 by BassmanPaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Random bouts of heavily distorted tone that clear up after a few seconds, on multiple different basses). My feeling is, being a class D amp, whatever it ends up being, it's likely not going to be cost effective to fix, so just bring my back up to gigs and when it dies, it dies! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure this is a factor. I know they have the well known TC issue with deceiving power numbers, in reality the amps have plenty of juice. I have used an RH750 as a power amp many times and it go's stupid loud and stays clean. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassmanPaul Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 A couple of hundred watts only takes you so far even if it "Sounds like 750W." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open E Posted May 5, 2023 Author Share Posted May 5, 2023 It’s actually happening at low volume so a bit of a mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassmanPaul Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Turn your bass down and the amp up as required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassmanPaul Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 @Open E did my last suggestion help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open E Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 It’s happening at really low volumes so don’t think it’s a high signal problem. I’ve stopped using the amp. thanks for your suggestion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
