Please help
Hi,
I recently aquired a DBX 160XT from ebay, I live in the UK and used an adapter to test the machine not realising that it only had a 1amp fuse in the plug. I switched on the unit and it was quite noisy at first (please let me know if this is normal) then I lifted the ground nob on the back to LIFT then the noise stopped. I never had chance to see if the lights on the front were on while it was making the noise and since it stopped making the noise it hasnt worked since.
So it as at this point that I realised that I had used a converter plug with a 1amp fuse, . . . . . so I went to my local electronics shop and purchased a good converter plug with a 13amp fuse, but it still dosent work ! I have checked the fuses inside the dbx (2x300ma 250v) but they dont look blown however they have very thick wire inside which is blackened in the middle a little but not split ? If anyone can help it would be great as i'm pulling my hair out !!!!!! anyone with experience of repairing the unit or anyone with a us version in the uk please post your advice
P.S In the morning I plan to go and find the fuses for the dbx as my first point of call.
