Should I Be Concerned?

I have a Dual Caliber combo and recently it is taking longer and longer for the light to come on from the time I flip the power switch. The amp operates fine afterwards, but it can be up to three-four seconds before it powers up from turning it on. Anyone else ever have that happen? Is it a symptom of a bigger issue?

Just a guess but I'd suspect the power capacitors are going bad.

Yup, just as jpistolas mentioned, it's time for an amp tune-up. Find a local competent tech and have those caps serviced. I did my DC5 about 3 years ago (amongst a few other tweaks) and it breathed new life into the amp.

Yeah - I am waiting for Monsta-Tone to get his shop back up and running and I will try to send the amp to him for a tune-up!
