Title: static and cutting from the left channel
Post by: mishak on March 11, 2020, 01:36:35 PM

Hello again. 

I just got finished installing the SB 1.1.  I'm getting some serious static from the left channel and then will cut out.  It comes back but crackling very loud if I tap the front of the chassis.  It MAY stick for a few minutes, and then will cut out again.  I checked every joint like 20 times, and I can't seem to figure it out.  Also, idk if this matters, but when I first turn the amp on, everything seems to work just fine.  Seems like when things warm up thats when the issue starts.  I've been at it for like 4 hours now, any help would be greatly appreciated!

that sounds like a bad solder joint. please reheat and add a small amount of solder to the speedball pcbs associated with that channel, and the terminal strips where they connect.
