Spider Valve overheating fix

Bought my Spider Valve 112 a few years ago when it first came out, then noticed that it started to stop working after about an hour/two hours of continuous play. Sometimes it would stop working in as short as 30 mins depending on the season (I'm currently in S.E. Asia). Since the warranty was up, I read up on this and decided to try adding heatsinks to keep the DSPs cool - the result was this:
Works like a charm now - no more intermittent failures. Also got a local carpenter to make a new cab for it since the original Line 6 didn't allow much in terms of ventilation for cooling the DSPs.
Hope this is helpful to those who are experiencing similar problems.
The cabinet conversion for your amp looks killer. What kind of wood is that?
I like the look of your head, very sleek.
Stay in the mix and in the know.
