Spider Valve MKII volume question
Got the 1x12 combo. Testing it in bedroom, set master to like 1 maybe 2 and it was loud so I turned channel volume where it needed to be thinking this was a global change…
Pressed button to switch preset and damn near blew my eardrums out. It especially sucked because I’m standing there with my guitar in front of the speaker while I’m changing settings…
So every present has independent volume and they decided it was a good idea to set them all to 100%?
Is this a common issue? Are these amps just insanely loud?
I figured the 40 watt 1x12 would be best of this series for bedroom playing… lol
I also have a faint crackle sound at low volumes on clean channel easiest to hear it so I’m going to reseat tubes, hopefully my volume mixup and feedback from guitar pickup didn’t damage something but I think my hearing was the only victim.. guitar center shipped this without much bubble wrap and it probably got banged around didn’t notice any visible damage though.
