Re: Unresponsive Tom1 input

2005-02-25 by Tim Scarborough

We're making progress! I hadn't switched off, so I did that, 
unplugged, plugged one in to tom1 and hallelujah it worked! However, 
it disappeared again when I plugged everything else in.

So I unplugged, switched off and on again, and again tom1 was fine. I 
plugged everything in one at a time, checking tom1 after each 
connection. It was fine until I plugged the snare in (the socket next 
to it), when it stopped working again. The only one I hadn't plugged 
in at this point was tom2.

Does this confirm the suspicion about a bad connection at the socket?
Thanks for sticking with me!
Tim
