Re: Valverb? What was I thinking?

Patrick (reverb_10000) - 08 Nov 2004 10:24:22

Seems I spoke to soon. I have to send it back to MF.com.
The unit worked great Thurs and Fri. Took it to practice Sat nite and
it started shocking me, and cutting in and out, with some serious
intermittent noise going on. I was reading in the Fender Forum that a
batch went out at one point with bad transformers, I'm wondering if
that's the issue? In any event, they're replacing the unit....sigh.
Hopefully I'll have better luck with this one.
Any of you guys hqve issues with the RI tanks?
