Mackie Big Knob Studio Led Lights Frozen
Hey guys,Yesterday I turned on my bug knob, and then the led showed -10 dB more or less. There was no sound. I disconnected all the cables, and it still showed the led at -10db more or less. I tried connecting and disconnecting, tweaking and pressing all the buttons up/down, on/off. Nothing. Help please.
Requests for more information
