I was in the 3rd set of a recent gig, I switched to my Marsha preset, rockin' along, a minute into the song, I tapped the button on my Midimate controller for the null filter (volume boost), the volume increased as it is suppose to, I hit four solo notes, then all of the sudden, no guitar signal! Quickly, I checked all the cable connections, the display on the Ultra was still on, the Rocktron 300 power amp power indicator light was still on and, the Midimate was still on. The band found a place to cut the song off and the singer apologized to the crowd for the technical problem. I checked all connections again, still no signal. I turned off the Ultra, waited about 5 seconds turned it back on and bam, I have guitar signal again. I finished the set, took a break, left everything on and plugged up. Came back later and played a fourth set with no problems. I used the Marsha preset again but, did not hit the Midi Mate controller button for the null boost. The next day I fired up the Ultra without the midi controller plugged up. I went to the Marsha preset and noticed that I was slightly bumping the output overload light when I played really hard and, this is without the null filter kicked in. The null filter was set for an additional 3 db boost. Could I have overloaded the Ultra by kicking in the null filter?
Does the Ultra have an overload protection feature to shut the signal path off ? Or, could it have been a Midimate or midi cable glitch? The cable is a rocktron 7 pin cable that powers the controller. Suggestions?
