[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 88525, member: 24"] Re: PSA: Blow it out yer amps! While you are at it, exercise your input gain knobs. I had a show in a new bar/club last Friday, and I didn't get all the way through line check before I had some really ugly noises coming through the system (mostly the subs). I spent a couple of minutes unconnecting and then reconnecting the speaker cables at the boxes, as well as a couple of turns of each knob at the extremely dirty amp rack. It cleared up at least for the moment and we got through the show ( I won't mention having to repatch three of the fourteen xlr cables the club actually seemed to own with my own while the band was playing). I am sure that other people are going to get the "Its never happened before" speech I got before anything is fixed. [/QUOTE]
