I have a Crate GLX 212. When I turn it off, the clean channel light stays on for about 15-20 seconds, after its off, even if its unplugged. Its not a problem, im just curious.

Thanks, -TOm
 
It's fine

There is a capacitor in the power supply circuit that is holding a charge for a while until the voltage bleeds off. That is what capacitors are supposed to do. (They hold a charge, *hence "capacity" measured in Farads is a unit of storage)

This the same principle that a stun gun or cattle prod uses, also a flash unit in a camera.:D

I love Electricity!


Dom:cool:
 
So I can make a stun gun from my amp.......interesting

Now I know how I will keep that drummer in line......
 
Interesting idea, but you'd have to completely rewire your amp...
