LeslieNemes Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Hello room. I have owned a Lowdown 300 watt combo for quite a few years. Totally love it and had zero problems .. until the other day. This is a little difficult to describe but I will do my best. When I play in my normal finger style, it sounds great regardless of the volume, punchy in the middle, smooth on the bottom end and clear crisp highs however, when I change to a slap bass style, there is a weird "distortion" on the higher frequencies when I "pull" on a note whether I dampen the note or let it ring out. It doesn't sound like a split cone but more like there is a chorus or phase effect switched on?, (which there isn't, I checked and all effects are off). It is almost as though there is a loose connection and the note is clipping and phasing. Once again, this only happens when I pull the note and on the high frequencies and also happens at lower volumes so it doesn't sound like an overload or simple distortion. I have no idea if the Lowdown has a tweeter but if it does, I was thinking that maybe it has blown and I could simply switch it for a new one? If not perhaps it is a connection problem? I would take it to a dealer but I live in Southern Spain and there are no official suppliers anywhere near. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Brazzy Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I have an LD300. Have never run into this problem so I really can't help you from experience. Here's the knowledge base though: LD Amps Knowledge Base Amp Troubleshooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
