Had it looked over/serviced by Rectified Amps here in Wellington and it really sings. The cab came with some weird non original speakers so it's now sporting a Jensen C12Q and a Weber Alnico Signature 12s (thanks Bender!). I've also acquired the missing piggyback hardware so I can tilt it back safely. Sounds fantastic!

That is indeed...the story.

first one lasted about 3 months then the usb failed so I couldn't use for audio, upload IR's or upgrade firmware. I carried on using it for a couple of weeks longer then it just failed to boot up. It would go through the motions but the screen never lit up.

second one worked for a week, then the usb failed. Carried on using for a couple of weeks with no other issues, but well.... it takes the shine off as I love every other aspect of it.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Was thinking of getting another given how cool I found the first. Might be a rabbit hole I do not want to go down now.
Fingers crossed things pan out a bit better this time around.

How long did it last? One firmware update. USB cable plugged in twice - turned off before plugging in and unplugging. Now no usb :( ffs. It is cool but if I can't transfer IR's too it then it may as well be in the bin.

Going to ask for a refund and have a rethink. I have bias amp and bias fx. I don't play out at the moment, probably more gear than I need in this box.

Wow... I'm guessing 3 faulty units is enough grounds for a refund?
