Re: [Simmons Drums] Re: SDE expander

2014-07-25 by music@...

I did a factory reset (Hold down the PROGRAM Button and power it on) to no avail. I then tried what Jesper suggested again to no avail.

The thing that did resolve it finally was opening it up and re-seating the PROMs, Chips, and connectors as suggested by Nick. I then did the Factory restore again and voila! SDE sounding better than ever!!

Of note.. the Headphone Out is still really hot and noisy... but I believe this to be normal and inherent to the SDE... (and SDS9)

Thanks guys!!
Cheers
