RE: [gsp-2101] Re: Clipping

2010-02-16 by Todd Johnson

I'm not using the XLRs. I am just using the 1/4in. loop. That's good to know, though.
I do have the upgrade. I'd love to know more about this cannon-effect.
Funny thing: I swapped the better patch cables in place and it appeared to fix the clipping. I played through it a number of times to test drive and all seemed OK. Then I went through the music set with the bass player and half-way through it began clipping.
It always seems to initiate with pedal program change. I wonder if the quality of DIN chord would cause this.
I also suspect a warmed-up GSP; since it seems to be more susceptible into the set than at the beginning.
I really thought the monster patch chords were a fix and was going to say so here, but now I'm glad I didn't.

also.. does your 2101 have the PPC upgrade?? it could also be that there is a processor mismatch, and you're getting the "cannon" effect from the mismatch of the SDISC processors..

I will have to gig with it or at least heat it up good to see if it's fixed, but the funny thing is I never had this problem before. So I was starting to think that the unit was reaching the end of it's useful life; that capacitors were going bad or something. I sure hope that it's not. I hate to see this thing go, but it was an audible clip. Very dangerous to the speakers, and expensive.
