Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Like the other guy said - it could be your amp or it could be the speaker.  Speakers on the way out sound like "clipping".  Sometimes if you push the speaker cone in and release it a couple of times you can here ugly noises, that means - new speaker or a re-cone job at least.

As the other guy recommended, try another amp or borrow a guitar (bass if possible) and try that through the questionable amp!

BTW - the Behringer rig I mentioned in a previous post would run about $700 with cables and stands.  Make sure you factor that against the price of the piano amp you are thinking of buying.  Plus, with the rig I mentioned you retain the stereo imaging.

Later
