EMX-1 change output sound because of the heat!

Post by EnZoSbaraglia »

Hi mates,

Since summer has begun (or at least when I realized the problem) my Electribe EMX-1 change the 'tone' of the sound (of all parts) when I has been playing around 20 minutes. I dont know if it is the heat or if any valve is broken..

Does this happen to anyone else?

I just noticed my setup hissing yesterday after being left on for ~16 hours straight. I don't know if it's the Electribes or not but I'm gonna have to get out of the habit of leaving it on.

20 minutes is not long, that's about how long I'd expect it to take them to warm up though...

Did you troubleshoot your outputs? Check if the problem occurs on every output (headphone, indivudial) and let us know.

Olivander12 is right on the money. Check if the same change in sound happens on the individual outputs (3/4) when the sound change happens, bus some parts to the 3/4 outs and see if the same change is happening on them but make sure its a part that isn't passing thru an effect first The 3/4 outputs bypass the tubes and effects so it could tell you if it is a tube related issue you have.
