What to do if TC Electronic Amplifier cannot turn power off with power switch at front?
If your TC Electronic Amplifier doesn't turn off with the power switch, ensure you press and hold the switch for at least one second. This delay is implemented to prevent accidental power-offs during recording.
What to do if TC Electronic Amplifier displays lines or spots and the backlight is blinking?
If your TC Electronic Amplifier's display shows lines or spots, and the backlight is blinking, first, check for external factors like magnetic or heat fields affecting the display. If the distortion persists, consider replacing the display. If the backlight is faulty or blinking, inspect the soldering on the display, focusing on the connections at the top.
What does message "User Preset Error, Cleared All Presets" mean on TC Electronic Amplifier?
The message "User Preset Error, Cleared All Presets" on your TC Electronic Amplifier typically appears after a RESET or during the initial power-on. It indicates that all presets have been reset to their factory default settings.
What to do if TC Electronic Amplifier has a blank display and cannot run application software?
To address a blank display and the inability to run application software on your TC Electronic Amplifier, enter the SOFTWARE BOOT menu by holding the ENTER button while powering on. Then, select the INFO option and press ENTER to inspect the application software. If the software is corrupted, reload it.
