Now...granted there are a bunch of switches on the back so who knows
And...idk what I'm doing  :'(
So there's that but it looks like it works to me idk  :lmao:

One really wierd thing that happened...I could hear a very faint hum with the power off.  I leaned in to listen better and thought wow is that my 1 khz signal ?! So I reached up and changed the frequency and yes it was my signal I could hear it with the amp power off  :loco
I ask stupid questions
and make stupid mistakes
