Any and all,
If anyone can offer assistance to this problem it would be greatly appreciated.
I have a bogner xtc custom 101b and use an RJM RG16 cable to change channels, fx loop and so on hooked up to one of the amp jacks on the RJM RG-16.
What I have noticed is that is sometimes wont change to the red channel. The function light (3) changes, and I can hear the "click" of the relay but the bogner just sits there is whatever channel I was previously on.
This doesn't happen all the time, just most of the time. When I power on all the gear cold it seems to change to the red channel no problems for about the first 45 minutes to an hour. Then it starts to "miss" and after about three hours of playing Im lucky to get it to change to the red channel once every 50 tries. This is regardless of if i use the foot controller or manually press the function 3 button on the RG-16. What I have tried to trouble shoot this so far is.
1. replace the 7 pin midi cable from the foot controller to the RG-16 and use a 5 pin cable and a wall wart directly to the rocktron all access (remove the phantom power from the picture)
2. tried changing the amp selector on the back from the RG-16 from amp 1 to amp 2 and back and forth.
3 tried to use a different bogner (i have another older 101b in the house) same results
4. manually pressing the red channel on the back of the amp (no problem)
5. using the bogner foot switch (no problem as I would have expected since the problem was reproducible on both bogners)
I guess that the issue is with the cable or the RJM itself. I don't have an extra of either of those so I can test that point.
Has anyone had the same experience or have any trouble shooting suggestions? Its really starting to get frustrating.
In advance thanks.
