CRAP SOUND IS THE SPEAKER KINDA SOUNDING LIKE IT BLOWN ,SETTINGS ARE ALL DIFFERENT ON EACH CHANNEL MID ABOUT HALF,BASS 3/4,TREB 3/4,3/4 PRESENCE,GAIN A LITTLE PAST HALF.

I ALSO HAVE A RACK TUNER AND HUSH RACK UNIT RUNNING IN EFFECT LOOP

HOW LOUD ARE YOU PLAYING WHEN IT STARTS TO SOUND LIKE CRAP? THE BASS 3/4 OF THE WAY UP IS PRETTY HIGH FOR A RECTO AT LOUD VOLUMES

LOL

 

[Robusto]

Sounds like someone is a bit hard of hearing from too much loud ROCK AND ROLL!!!!


:lol: :lol: :lol:


I recommend taking a look at some of the settings in the back of the manual and tweaking the settings a bit fromt there.

good luck.

Agreed the bass at 3/4 is going to be way to much at high volume - my rule of thumb for the Roadster is 1/2 MAXIMUM for bass, but I generally keep it even lower than half. I hate to point out the obvious, but if you're getting a sound like the speaker is blown...have you checked to see if maybe it is?

I don't think I have ever taken the Bass past 1 o'clock...

 

[guerreromex]

THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP,I WILL TRY SETTING BASS LOWER AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS

+1

The sweet spot for me is generally 12:30. Sometimes less.

Also depends on other variables, such as the cab. With my Roadster, I run it with the Stiletto straight 4X12 cab, so I can afford to turn up the bass just a hair more...
