Sunn beta mini volume issues.
Hi all,
I just want to preface this with my experience so far as I genuinely really love the sound and compactness of this little amp but I think I'm at my wits end with it now and I could do with some advice.
I received my initial mini in June just before I had quite a substantial string of shows to play and needed a head that could match the nasty tones I get out of my tube amps.
The amp turned up, sounded great, was absolutely loud enough. I managed to get a few shows out of it but the initial head decided to produce 0 signal. I gave it time to cool down, checked all my cables and basses. Eventually I emailed sunn and they sorted me out a replacement.
I felt like maybe I was just unlucky and credit to the guys at Sunn for expediting this new head to me but guess what?
Just took the replacement head I received a few weeks ago to a practice. I got about 2 hours out of it before I started getting interment volume issues and sound cutting out. I was running it at 12 o clock at master volume though an 8 ohm bass cab. Plenty loud for the small practice space we use.
I've just brought it home and put it through my rig now at 4ohms and it's been perfectly fine for 30 minutes.
I really don't know what to do now as I feel I can't trust it to get me though a show and I've also already paid two lots of import tax on a head.
Do I contact sunn and try for another replacement or some troubleshooting? Or do I just go for a refund because hoenstly I wish this thing was reliable. It sound so fucking good.
