Reply To: VC3 xlr input not working

[SeekerofRock]

Well, I priced out what I believe it would cost to ship it to you and pay the repair cost and came up with about 50 pounds. The only tech I’ve used here where I am (besides my amp tech) charges 50 pounds just to look at something, then additional for parts and repair. 😥 If I could diagnose the problem and tell my amp tech what needs to be replaced, I’m sure he could do the soldering work.

So, how would one go about determining what the actual problem is (the xlr input not working)? It seems like it could be anything from a simple loose wiring connection to a faulty mic preamp chip to something in the input jack not registering that there is no cord plugged into it (just speculation…I know absolutely nothing about complex electronics). Any ideas or tests I could do to help determine what the problem could be?
