VIP3 on the blink

Post by 0603Kenny » Mon Mar 06, 2017 4:06 pm

VIP3 with Sanpera II went on the blink. All I get is a green screen "blinking on and off" on the amp and the Sanpera, no sound. Tried it without the Sanpera and no go. It did this two times and came back to life but now she will not come back. I have had this amp about three years but I have not played through it very much. Just got the Sanpera II two weeks ago and I was loving it. BUMMER Any ideas?

It's still under warranty If you registered the amp when you bought it. (5 years) There are things you can try, A factory reset and check all cable connections.

I guess I'll have a "Made In China/Repaired In the USA" amp.

Not so fast on the repaired thing. We shall see. Might be replaced. That would be better, but if they can fix it, that works too.
