I bought a Walkabout Scout Combo (1x12) about 4 months ago. Surfing trough mesa's website, yesterday, i found out it's supposed to have a 3-way crossover switch and a horn reset switch, placed around the horn volume knob on the back of the cab. But mine doesn't:?: It misses the 3-way switch and the horn reset, how can that be? Did mesa changed the Scout specs lately?
The serial number is 002403 (that's the amp's number, the cab doesn't seem to have one). I wanted to call the tech support department but they don't have a 1-800 line (i'm in canada). I wanted to ask them if it was normal for my combo to miss such features, and i wanted to know the default crossover freq, since i can't change it! Anyway, i emailed them, i'm not sure if they'll ever reply to me. If someone could call and ask these questions, i would be very thankful.
On another side, when i boost the bass a little too much below 60Hz, i get a weird "fart" or crackling kind of sound coming from the sub, i was wondering if that could damage it, or if it's some kind of normal "protection" behaviour. I have an active Musicman Stingray5 bass, and the crackling always comes up if I turn the bass knob a little too far... I'm I the only one hearing this? Is it possible to damage the cab by boosting the sound a little too much?
Thanks to anyone that took the time to read this, i'm grateful.
