Mine shut down at a very cold outdoor gig - in the 30's - and also shut down inside at our practice room at normal temperature.

Doug - I follow you on Instagram - your workouts are impressive! You're allowed a typo after all that weight you're picking up!

I agree - Doug and the other people at Darkglass have all been super cool. I don't mean to bash them at all - I love their products - just think there may be a glitch in my amp or crappy electrical supply in my recent gigs!

I'm not so sure the amp is actually fried because it still plays at full volume at home? By the way, I've had nice & helpful communications with the Darkglass people.

Darkglass support said it has a protection mode at 90V - but I don't know what that is or what power we were being fed...all I know is it happened twice and that's one too many for me unfortunately, because when working, it's amazing.

Well it's a brand new Darkglass DG410C cabinet and I've set the ohms to match head and cab...?

That's what Darkglass told me - it protects itself under 90V but how would I know what voltage is coming my way? And why is it just my equipment that is failing?

Thanks for the tip (I'm new to this forum). Yes - playing pretty much the same at home. Maybe a little less aggression but not noticeably. And I've played over an hour at home with no problem.

I recently got a new Darkglass Microtubes 900 + DG410C - and have "tried" to use it twice at recent outdoor gigs. Both times the amp sounded perfect during setup but as soon as we started the first song, the amp shut itself off - then came back - then off again. Ridiculous. Had to go to a back...
