Hi, I juts added a reply to another post about this. Check the USB audio setting, mine was set to +6DB, I have set it to 0DB and it hasn't dropped out since. It would make sense if the uSB audio is clipping.

UPDATE! Sorry after a few days of not cutting out my amp did it again so this isn't the fix :-(

Well, its the flash memory that is supposed to hold the program. They are notorious for degrading. You might be able to find a computer guy who can replace them. Look for two rectangular ICs with the same number, about an Inch long, 1/2 inch wide, near the processors. You might resolder them if you can find them...

Ok, so it happened again as it's been doing daily lately. And this time i tugged on the speaker wire and turned the master every which way. Had to reboot to stop it. Then something occurred to me that makes me think it IS a firmware issue. In particular maybe a amp thing that all models have in common but some more then others, maybe some not at all. For example, some have preset maters, some don't. Same with some other things like presence. Maybe one of those things in the firmware causes it and thats why some people aren't troubled by it, some less so, and some more.

But heres what occurred to me.....this issue happened to me maybe once or twice a month and now it's a daily thing. A light bulb went off this time and it occurred to me that right at the time this started happening daily i switched to using a different model ! And remember me saying i had the same issue with the old MIII on just one model, the tweed twin? And i wasn't the only one that had this issue withbthe tweed twin on the old mustang line. So all that being the case, it would seem this issue is model dependent which means there is some amp setting in the firmware that some models have and some don't and some may be set differently and not be as much of an issue. This would explain everything....why some don't have the issue and some do and some do but only rarely. I used the bassbreaker model pretty much exclusively till this started happening daily, at which time i had changed to using the friedman model regularly and not using the BB anymore. Guess i'll go back to the BB and see how long before it does it again.

So to those for whom this is a daily issue, is there a particular model you use almost all the time and if so what is it? And to those without this issue what model do u use mostly? And those to whom it happens but only rarely, what model ? And to anyone who uses a lot of models and never uses the same on most of the time, do u notice the issue happening at times a lot and other times only rarely?


Ok, not the same issue...but I've been having another recurring problem since I got the amp - plus its replacement - and that is, the amp sound changes ...iow, my patches sound different than what they should most every time I turn on the amp...even if "visually" the parameter settings seem to be ok...so anyway, I think what u r saying here could also apply to my problem...some amps/cabs or other modules could be more prone to such errors for whatever reason....either way, its extremely frustrating playing this thing live...which I have to do...play live, that is...
