Yo take it to a tech. Anyone attaching a speaker output to a sound card has no business opening the chassis of a mains powered amp buy a torpedo captor or just record a bass DI next time

Disco De Soto posted:I did some stupid poo poo last night and may have wrecked my new Fender Rumble 200 - I connected a cable from the 8 ohm external speaker output into a sound card and now my amp sound really hosed up. It sounds like the overdrive is cranked up even though I'm playing clean, and the volume keeps fluctuating. Also it makes a loud POP when I turn it on. Any ideas what might be the problem or how to fix it? In the end we found an XLR cable and DI'd it, and the recording sounded fine, so I guess it must be the speakers? Mine did this on it's own, twice before I gave it away.

nurrwick posted:Bolded part there suggests it's an output transistor that died. If you have a schematic or if the part didn't blow itself up when it failed, you should be able to source and replace the output devices for less than $20, parts and shipping. The Rumble 200 combo and head are both Class D. Take it back to the shop.

darkwasthenight posted:The Rumble 200 combo and head are both Class D. Take it back to the shop. Huh, you'd think Fender's product page would have yelled that loud and proud but the only place I can find that says that is Thomann. I guess it makes sense, though, if they sell it as a head version. Why take a class D to a shop instead of work on it yourself? I was able to mostly resurrect an Ampeg Portaflex PF500 I bought broken on ebay by replacing its output devices, the class D driver chip, and a couple of diodes near it. It still only worked for about 15 minutes at a time before it would dump into protect and wouldn't come back until a power cycle. Could have been a solder joint that cracked, could have been a bad interface between driver and heat sink, it could have failed because the thermal sensor died. No way to know for sure, but it was cheaper to send Full Compass $200 for a new power board than to take it in for repair (or continue on my own time with diagnostics and IC replacements).

I'm just going off a few articles saying the range is all Class D above the practice amp stuff since 2014 and OP saying it's a new amp. Also I agree with you about the repair, but you seem to know what you're doing. Concatenation said it better than I could already. Concatenation posted:Yo take it to a tech.

Yeah, I should have been clearer - even if you know what you're doing, working on class D sucks at best. Interesting note: according to the schematic for the Rumble 40, the preamp sections of all the Rumble amps from the 40 up are identical. Same PCB and everything. I guess if you only want the amp for the DI for some reason, you can buy the small one and it'll sound exactly the same as the larger options.

stillvisions posted:Not really stupid music poo poo, just laughing a a local store's Black Friday sale: 15% OFF EVERYTHING IN THE STORE* This is Cosmo Music, right? Because I went there today to buy a THR10, and I still got the discount even though Yamaha was on that list. Anyway, my stupid music poo poo is that I absolutely love this THR10 and feel like it will replace the Focusrite interface and Bias FX setup I was using for headphone practice, as well as my regular home setup of a Hughes and Kettner Grandmeister Deluxe 40 and a Orange 1x12 cab (as well accompanying pedalboard which is pretty basic - only has a tuner, fuzz, EQ, looper and H&K footswitch on it). I mean I think the Grandmeister Deluxe 40 is an amazing amp but my current living situation doesn't really let me use it all that much due to volume concerns, even at the 1 watt setting. Plus it's kind of overkill because I'm only a bedroom guitarist and I highly doubt I will ever be more than that. Not to mention that I don't have a lot of space available anyway - it's nice how the THR10 can just sit on my desk and doesn't even need a separate speaker cab. Think I might just put the H&K head, cab and pedalboard in storage for now until I achieve my dream of owning a place with a dedicated "music room".

LOL, I honestly can't tell if that's supposed to be a joke or not. I'm pretty sure there's a guy selling counterfeit Fenders on my local FB market. He runs a Reverb shop under a different name but uses the same backdrop for all of his photos across all platforms. All of his "legitimate" guitars go through Reverb, while his FB is full of questionable Strats. I don't know if they're Chinese fakes or if he's just putting Fender decals on Squiers, but at least none of his fakes have the wrong brand name on the headstock.

That strange guy posted:Mine did this on it's own, twice before I gave it away. Really? Did you never figure out why it was happening? Why just give it away? I'm not 100% sure that it was plugging into the audio interface that hosed it. So weird that the amp still sounds totally fine until I crank it up past 50% volume. Can someone explain to this stupid person why it's bad to connect the external speaker output to an audio interface? I can't find any information in my amp manual or online. But maybe that's cause I'm stupid.

Disco De Soto posted:Really? Did you never figure out why it was happening? Why just give it away? There's a technical explanation involving electrical load, voltage tolerances in parts but to get to there would take a million years so think about it this way: At the interface end it's like trying to take a small drink of water from a firehose. At the amp end it's like sitting in your driveway with your foot flat to the floor in neutral.

I went there for a keyboard stand and the Earthquaker devices Data Corrupter and asked about other stuff and they said it was really everything that wasn't a door crasher so  why they put that in the fine print.Also the Data Corrupter is a fun little pedal; it only really has one trick, but it's a good one. Next up to see how well it tracks my Miku Stomp.
