I just realized that I connected output 3 (right side) to an input channel that had phantom power on and left it that way the entire gig. Anyone know if the outputs are designed to handle this? Dumb move on my part I know.
Something else I didn’t know.Channels 3 and 4 are not phantom power tolerant as they are 1/4" jacks. However if you plugged them into your mixer using 1/4" cables then you're fine. A mixer only applies phantom power to XLR inputs.

The Axe’s unbalanced outputs use Humbuster, which uses the ring connection....I assume the +48V would have appeared at the "ring" in the TRS plug, which probably does not come in contact with anything on the FX 3 (only tip and ground are used), so the phantom power was not actually connected to the FX 3.

All of them. See the Axe manual to learn how a Humbuster cable is wired.So if you plug a TRS cable into a Humbuster jack, which of the 3 contacts on the TRS actually connect to the jack?
I don't understand. You want to use a diode to avoid...what?Can i solder a diod to a humbuster cable to avoid that? Which is the best diod for that porpouse (Value)?
A diod in a tr cable or humbuster cable to avoid any kind of voltage from the Mixboard with +48v to a Trs OutputI don't understand. You want to use a diode to avoid...what?
Both a TR cable and a Humbuster cable have only two connections in the end that goes into external equipment. Putting a diode in the signal path is never a good idea, unless you want half of your signal to be chopped off.A diod in a tr cable or humbuster cable to avoid any kind of voltage from the Mixboard with +48v to a Trs Output
Hahaha, yeah, the best answer. But sometimes you don't know what the sound guy is doing (small shows when going direct).I'm not trying to be a smart ass.....but isn't it easier to make sure proper connections are made in the first place? If the sound guy is the guilty party in not checking such things...maybe time to get a new sound guy/gal.
Just best practice IMHO.
Oh, I didn't know that, so the signal is send and then the signal returns from that same lead (Sorry if that doesn't make sense, kinda hard to explain myself in a different Lenguage) ? I thought it would be good to have that diod to have extra security.Both a TR cable and a Humbuster cable have only two connections in the end that goes into external equipment.
