[QUOTE="Greg Cameron, post: 57608, member: 42"] Re: Throrougly Blown! Seems like loud keyboards can really cook a coil, especially synths since they can produce very low crest factor signals (sine/square/sawtooth). I remember Yngwie Malmsteen's keyboard player setting a Rat fill on fire back in the 80s during a solo. He kept signaling Dave to turn up the monitor during the solo. Dave, never one to hold back, obliged until the smoke poured out and orange could be seen. I can't remember if it was the driver that fried or the crossover. Rat designed and built all their crossovers back then and used heavy gauge chokes. Sometimes they weren't heavy enough and they would burn. Greg [/QUOTE]
