could a faulty G Major in my Herbert's serial loop cause...

Peter et. al.,

At my last practice, I had an issue with intermittent, major volume drop-out throughout the night. It wasn't complete volume loss, but rather, about 70%. I eliminated everthing in my rig by going guitar straight into amp. Even checked the bias, which was a bit colder than I had set it (avg 64mA vs. 70 mA where I set it), but still the problem occurred.

I didn't however, remove the G major from Herberts serial effects loop (forgot about it at the time), and was wondering if it's possible that the G Major is the culprit. Is it possible that a fualty effects processor in the serial loop could cause this? I am thinking that since the serial loop was used, the signal is always going through the G Major, therefore possibly being the cause.

I surely would believe the G Major to fail before the Herbert. Plus, a little cheaper to repair/replace! :)

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated,

Stu
 
Not to state the obvious but did you go back today and take the G Major out if the loop and still have the problem? :confused:

LOL,

I should have discussed that, knowing it would come up.

The quick answer is no, as of course I can't duplicate it now. Only gonna happen during band auditions and gigs, right :)

It happened about 5 times during a 4 hour period, that one night, and hasn't happened since. Clearly if/when it happens, that's the first thing I will do, but since it's obviously going to be intermittent, I was trying to become aware of any/all possibilities before the trouble hits.

Obviously, I am not asking anyone to diagnose my issue here. Rather, I just want to know if this is a "possible" cause. If it's not, I'll have to think about taking the amp to a tech. If it is, I'll sit tight and wait for it to occur again, and address the G Major first.

This is really for my curiousity now, as I can't duplicate it, but am still concerned. Does that clear it up at all?

Thanks,

Stu
 
bump.

hoping to try and get another response for this problem :)
