Out2 cable?

[supersonic]

To get the “out 2” to connect, I need to plug a guitar cable in about half way to get a connection. Anyone know the fix here? Do I need to set to mono out somewhere? Thanks.

You have to do this on both output 2 jacks or just one of them? if only one, does the other one work correctly?

Are you using trs to trs, trs to ts, or ts to ts cables?

Both are the same, cable sits about half an inch out from fully inserted position to work/make contact.

TRS - TRS. Guitar cable. I also tried a “Humbuster” wired cable, same issue.

TRS - TRS isnt a guitar cable, TS - TS is.
Whats the other end of the cable plugging into?

Yeah, TC; in this post:

Are you saying you think TRS-TRS is a guitar cable or were you just listing the types of cables you've tried, as in, "I've tried TRS-TRS, I've tried a regular (TS-TS) guitar cable, I've tried a Humbuster cable, and all gave me the same issue."?

Because if you were using a TRS-TRS cable into something that just wanted a TS cable, that would explain it. A TRS-TRS (balanced 1/4" cable) will work just fine into a balanced input, however, as will a TS-TS.

I’ve tried a TRS Humbuster cable and a TS guitar cable. Neither will work unless I pull them 1/4 inch out of the Fm3 “out2”.

That’s a bass amp so will be expecting a TS guitar cable type input (and a low output level). Does the cable work ok plugging a guitar directly into the bam?

The power amp input works fine, the Fm3 out2 socket is the culprit.

Sounds like you have a faulty unit then, I have a TRS cable in my OUT 2 L socket feeding a mixer and it works as expected (ie plug is fully pushed into socket)

Hmm, seems odd that both out2 sockets have the same fault.
