Hi guys,

Anyone else have this problem?: When I try to use my USB port to play along with my iTunes or youtube tracks, I will have issues with cutting in and out and eventually no sound at all after it has gotten warm. I opened it up and there is not visual problems with the electronics but I do notice that the "band Volume" knob will will become "sensitive" and I can lose and gain the sound by turning and messing with the knob. As if the knob itself is the problem (Which was my first thought). Only to get frustrated and turn the damn thing off. Then, next day, try to resolve the issue and it works fine... Then after a while, I begin experiencing the same problem. My thought now is the amp electronics are getting too hot. Should I install a little fan?! Anyone else...?


Thanks for your help.

I also think the gdec 3 runs hot. My sd memory card gets hot. How would you install a fan?

As it turns out... It is not running too hot but the problem is in one of the connections inside. It is frustrating as I bought it off a friend who got it as a demo since his band had one of the pre-recorded clips on the amp (Strung Out). So now I have no actual receipt and need warranty work done. Bummer. I can probably get the part, myself.
