My friend has one and it just shuts down unexpectedly whenever it likes. That has been a major drawback of this amp and when it shuts down it has to go back to Yamaha to get reset and... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? @stuartk Having been a guitarist and lutenist for forty years I would like to say I know a bit about my subject. Please look up Martin Taylor on You tube as it is there for all to see and you will see that he is all I say he is. | |
