[LIKE ME, IT'S JUST TOO HOT] LuciferRising problem
I"ve not had it very long, played it a couple of times in the past two weeks, then today I plug it in and it's HEAVILY gated, to the point where barely any sound is getting through. Just sputtering out and dying. I tried it with battery, PSU, different guitars, same thing. The indicator LED is fine.
It's a hot, humid day here, but it's the UK, not Italy or California, so it's not deathly hot. I'm not having a problem with other germanium stomps. Could it just be that it's a hot, humid day? I'm worried because I was really digging it the other day and it cost a fair bit
I'd be grateful for any help/advice I can get!

Re: Help - Lucifer Rising suddenly sounds mis-bias'd?
What PSU were you using? these are positive ground so need isolated power supply, have you been using it with a battery or power supply for the last couple of weeks?

I'd contact Dave straight away and he'll make it right.
Condolences, the bums lost!

Plug it back with an isolated source; it should be fine...

Tried with a good battery, it isn't fine. I don't know much about electronics but I have a multimeter and tested some continuity points. I'm not hopeful. It's probably time to send a grovelling email to somebody cleverer than me.Yggdrazil wrote:Plug it back with an isolated source; it should be fine...
Probably a good time for this emoji

When my Brickbender came in the post i had the same problem. Popped it in the fridge for a bit, sorted. Tape echos are another thing i have found don't like warm humid weather.
