Si, como mio:







Menos que 5 libros, y muy fuerte, y puedes obtener un gran seleccion de sonidos buenos. Es el "CURE FOR GAS!" (for me anyway!)

Money back, of course. Can you play thinking that may be sudendly the amp can be broken again ?

Go and buy other amp, different from this, away from Ibanez, and may be away from class D if I were you and despite the experience.

Saluditos

Even if it is a speaker cable, the outer shell might have touched something that was grounded.

That shouldn't matter unless the amp is one of those that is in permanent bridge mode.

Most micro heads are bridged with non ground referenced outputs.

It is a Promethean.
In Greek mythology Prometheus is the bringer of fire.
That explains the smoke.

Then only a Speakon cable should be used. This is something that should be clearly covered in the manual and a phone socket should not have been provided. It's just asking for trouble.

The amp sound very fine! but... 20 min playing... the amp have a heart attack.

in my experience, the power supply capacitor is broken. First sound like descomprecion, and some ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ (like fried egg)... the smoke are very nice...

some pick



[IMG][/IMG]





Now can do two ways.

One

I buy the last amp in stock, so cannot change the amp for another. the opcion is my money back... and not have amp. because this is a warrantee.

Two

The seller can repair the amp. If is the capacitor... is not problem, but is a new amp... the capacitor can broken in years not in one moment

repair, or money back... that is the question
Don't be afraid - the smoke is only digital, too...;-)

Now, very carefully, scoop the magic smoke out of the air and try to reintroduce it to the amp's circuit in small increments...

It looks like your speaker cable is going in the amp at an angle???

Also, if there's no phone socket there's no chance anybody will (accidentally or on purpose) use a shielded cable for a speaker cable.

Ah, yes. Prometheus has stolen fire for bassist's use. You can tell by the magic smoke.

Muchos ven, pero pocos realmente tienen fotos del humo mágico. Espero que recibió un reembolso.

Many see, but few actually have photos of the magic smoke. I hope you received a refund.
