Tascam 388

[Instroverb]

Hi all,

I've been enjoying my 388's (I have 2). I had one hooked up to a patchbay in my control room. I was recording and overdubbing with 38 hooked through the patch bay to the 388. I had the outputs of the 38 going through the patchbay into the line ins on the 388. I caused a terrible feedback loop and the next thing I knew there was no sound from the head phones.

I've been going through the steps to figure out what I damaged, but haven't come upon it. I passed signal through the stereo ins and aux and effect returns and sound comes through the headphones. I then played the tape in rmx mixdown and with stereo on couldn't get signal in the phones. However, I was able to hear a signal loud and clear with both aux and eff switched on and the sends up on each track. There is no stereo meter response when I pass a signal through mic inputs. Any Ideas?

Thanks!

Can you put up a detailed list of what inputs work and which ones don't as well as outputs (both headphone and output jacks)?

I'm a little confused by the narrative of what you have tried so far...

to wait until I get home from work to post more detail. So far I have tried all of the aux and fx and stereo returns on the back. I have tried the first two mic inputs also. I was going to test them all when I got home tonight. What is throwing me off is that there is no cue signal from the mic inputs as well as no rmx signal from tape when monitoring in stereo mode, but the headphones and monitor outs work when I pass a signal through stereo ins on the back.
