Recently when i switched on my PC i got a Spark and sound from the SMPS. When i started the PC again it worked fine, Later i had switched off the PC for about 6 hrs when i started again i got a spark and sound from the SMPS. My friend said it could be due the moisture in the room that is causing the problem. i had placed the Cabinet close to the corner walls. Also it was raining heavily. But this is the first time such a thing happened. If anybody knows the solution to my problem please help me.

I'm sooo tired of seeing all these lunchbox amps. I can sort of see the point if you ONLY record in the studio, but if you jam with an even remotely loud drummer, get a full sized head with a good master volume and just turn it down. Or a half-power switch.

More then half the people I jam with use electronic drums and these lunchbox amps are perfect. With kids, families, neighbors, etc it allows us to play a LOT more then we could otherwise. One night we had 3 guitarists using those marshall 1 watters and it was still enough. I prefer the big amp, real drums, etc but if it's e-drums and small amps or nothing - well, I'd rather play.

There are many 100 watt amps that sound way better than this thing at whisper volume or at a roar. The thought that you need a small amp to play at low volumes and have good tone is just flat wrong. I have a busted back and bought the Ironball and the Pink Taco, I sold both. They can sound decent but not as good as the big boys. If you want a light weight amp, for the price of this thing you can kick in a little more and get a used Kemper. I own a Kemper and it blows the doors off of the Ironball IMHO.

Eh, I disagree. In at least the case of the Mini Recto, it's a pretty fucking loud amp, with even a loud drummer. I don't really see the point (for me, anyway) of a 50w+ amp anymore. Plenty of people gig with them, and even when they're not loud enough, that's what a mic is for.
