Had a great time with this amp for a year. Last night I heard some hum under the music when listening to it. I noticed the hum disappeared when I shut off my computer, which was running through the same surge protector. I decided to move the Darkvoice to another outlet without a surge protector this morning. As soon as I plug it in I hear a pop, the smell of burning rubber/plastic and the power cord heats up so it's noticably warm. I now have an expensive, very heavy, paperweight. :(
I didn't expect to leave it in this configuration for long, I just wanted to see if the hum went away so I could investigate other power options. Disappointed.
JackShaftoeDon't know if this will help. But there are a lot of DV mod guides out there where they take the whole unit apart. You may be able to find something on the part that burnt out and do a quick fix. Alternatively, I bet you can sell it on reddit.
