Last Saturday nite while playing a job, my DC750 started turning itself on and off at regular intervals (a few seconds apart). It was almost like it was on a timer. Then it came on and stayed on for a couple of hours, then the same thing happened. Any ideas?
Thanks, Doyle |

I'm not Mike and most likely this will not solve your problem.But I had the same thing happen.I, after much frustration spread the prongs on the plug-in of the power chord.It fixed me right up.My DP-750 is in a rack. So I'm thinking since it would power up cold, it was the heat that was causing the prongs to loosen up a tad.Come to think of it.Maybe my problem was or is with the power strip in my rack.  ..........bb |

Doyle, I was playing a July 4th celebration outdoors and using an Evans LV500 and Profex II in a rack with a DTR1 tuner and Goose Juice power supply. My power kept going on and off but no lights were blinking. It was in a city park. The guitar player said his was doing the same thing so I don't know if it was the equipment of not but I never got it corrected.

Mike can help but until he gets here........ I don't know if the 750 has an automatic- reset-circuit-breaker.
Some amps have them in the speaker outputs. Some amps may also have them in the AC line.
If an overload occurs in a line which has an auto-reset-breaker,it will break and make just as you described your problem. They are constucted in the same manner as a flasher. A metal strip heats, bends and breaks the circuit, cools and returns to the closed postion. JD |

Sorry for the delay in responding. Your particular instance sounds as if the AC voltage was fluctuating. An analog product is a bit more forgiving as far as AC(alternating current) goes. An analog device can work down to approximately 90 volts AC and a digital device can begin to get "squirrely" at about 110 volts.
In both situations, it is very hard on the power supply of the product. Something that I learned a few years back is to make sure that the venue/club has sufficient power for your amps and that the AC outlets are wired according to city code. There are devices that you can plug into the AC outlets that will confirm the wiring for you.

Mike, no problem on the delay and I do thank you for your reply. I was wondering myself if the voltage was low, would it cause that problem.
Hope to see you in St. Louis.
