TC Electronic RH450 problem

TheShape101 · #1 03-13-2013, 03:58 PM

I was at a gig on Monday night and set up my gear as usual and we did a soundcheck and everything was fine. When I came back to do the gig later on my RH450 wouldn't power up, and hasn't powered up since. Has anybody experienced anything like this? I haven't had any problems with it before this and it showed no signs of any faults leading up to this! I thought it might just be a blown fuse but there's no accessible fuses to check and the units seem pretty well sealed! Does anybody have any ideas what the problem might be?

Thanks.

I'd suggest you start by contacting TC Electronic. For everything else that people have posted, personally, I can't recall seeing where anyone posted about having one die. There are protection mode scenarios referenced in the manual, but it doesn't sound like you have one of those. There's no other troubleshooting you can do. And no fuses.

I hope they get back to you quickly.

Not that it sounds like there's any likelihood in it, did you by chance try another power cable?

Hi drpepper, yes i tried 2 different power cables but unfortunately had no luck. Thanks for the suggestion though. Hopefully I'll hear back from TC soon.

Keep us updated please, I have never heard of this problem before.
It could be a faulty switch

New one to me too. Unfortunately any amp can fail, it's how the manufacturer responds that counts. Let's hope they take the opportunity to get it right.
