[QUOTE="Shane Presley, post: 8090, member: 110"] I had a show this past weekend, where I had to pull my soundcraft MH-2 -48 out of the corner of the shop ( nobody puts baby in the corner - lol)... Anyway, I fired up the desk and the pa, and the left side sounded "crusty",over driven and distorted. So I ran the fader up and down a couple times, and it did nothing to alter or change the sound. We were all in a hurry so I asked the BE if she would run in mono and she didn't have a problem, so we went off the right. Now in hind sight I should have taken the eq out of line, but does anyone have any idea what make a master bus sound over driven. I was working on the trouble from the truck - was actually seeing "bad distored signal" at the amp rack (lab G 10Q) at low volume. From the off position I'd get one green light showing signal then as I slowly turned up the volume, orange/red. I would then take the right send from the console, plug it into the signal path and have clean sound. at first I thought it was a bad amp, then a bad crossover channel, and then finally traced it to the left side of the console send... BTW I was using both a microphone source on a channel, and then an ipod on a stereo return - same result. [/QUOTE]
