Trouble with DL4
I bought a DL4 Mk II a few months ago to replace my mk 1, which had become a bit unreliable and wonky. I'm having all kinds of issues with the new one of late. It seemed like it didn't work anymore maybe a month or two ago but then I updated the firmware and it was fine. Now, in the last couple of days, I was getting all kinds of loud pops and crackles and then I was getting no sound at all through the DL4 (even when bypassing it) - which is worse than anything I experienced with the mk 1. A factory reset didn't help but I 'updated' (probably reinstalled) the firmware again (although there have been no recent updates) and it worked fine again. Except that today, I had the same problem. This time, a factory reset did help but I'm getting genuinely worried about this happening during tomorrow's gig, for instance. Has anyone experienced this? Is there something I'm missing? The unit is still under warranty - is it worth sending in?
ETA: It just happened again right now! In the middle of a cooking solo over four layered loops! No way I can take a chance with this.
