    Trace Elliot GP7 - Blowing Fuses

    I bought a GP7 sm 300 last year, used. It worked fine. I leant it to a friend and now it pops fuses... before I send it to a technician, is this "normal" for this amp? I heard a rumor that this was a problem for trace equipment, but I haven't found any proof or solutions yet. Has anybody had...

    I always fall for a nice acoustic kit but in tight recording spaces or rooms which the drum set overpower/bleed mics and such...I don't know-Isolation is nice when recording, and I found playing an electronic kit just as much FUN when given the opportunity.
