Input problems on LowDown 110 Studio

I love this llittle amp ... for GUITAR. Problem is, it isn't set up for guitar with switchable presets. Don't care. I love it. I bought one because of the single 10" speaker in a closed back enclosure and the wattage ... and the way a Tele sounded through it when I cranked it.  You should hear it!  Amazing with just a little tweaking. Now to the problem. I returned the first one I bought after using it for recording and finding a hum problem with the input. Yes, it was intermittant (the worse type), but it happened only when the guitar cord was plugged in (with or without the other end plugged into the guitar. This happens only after the amp has been turned on for a number of moments. Tried different cables. Same result) ... so I returned it to Guitar Center where I bought it. Actually, I exchanged it for another 110 Studio. The guy behind the counter told me that this seems to be an inherent problem with this particular Line 6 "line/model." Even though I hated to hear that, I still told him "I don't care. It's in warantee. In fact, I'll take a second one, as well." Which I did. Why? So (using an A/B box) I can create some basic switching between a clean setting and an overdrive setting ... and because I'm afraid you guys will stop making this great little find for guitar, albeit intended for bass.

 

Now to why I'm really writing you guys. I'm on the road a lot and may not actually get to use these amps a lot while still in the warantee period. If there's a known problem (static hiss and crackling when plugged into the input and using a lot of the drive) i.e. a bad capacitor or resistor problem (I'm guessing) ... I would like to ship you BOTH units right now (as new) and have you make the modifications under warantee. Can you assist me on this assuming you have heard of this problem before and in fact it is a flaw in the design? Please advise by email at Furryoldgrover@aol.com, if possible. I'm new to this site, so don't know if I have to come back here to get the answer or if you'll respond to my email. I'll be watching just in case.

 

Thanks,

 

Michael

Re: Input problems on LowDown 110 Studio

Hello,

  There are no known issues with the LD110 that you are describing.  If you run into problems with the amplifier after checking the FAQs, you will need to take the unit to an authorized service center on your region.
