Hello;
Twice now, my VL2 Extreme has exhibited a very strange behavior when switching presets. The unit seems to fall into a state that severely restricts the audio out and makes the voice squeak. To clear the condition I have to turn the unit off and then on.
Both times it has happened at an outdoor concert, here in TX where the heat on stage is probably 95+ degrees F...
Has anyone else experienced this ??????
Thanks

Your answer is right there...it's too hot. and 95+F air temperature is probably more like 160+F inside a black box with electronics that are generating their own heat.
It does state a wide Operating Temperature Range: 32° F to 122° F (0° C to 50° C)
(back of the manual) but i'm guessing you are way over this -
Put a hood over it to block the sun if thats the issue (it will help you see the screen too) or at least put a fan blowing on it to help dissipate the heat.
I've seen this happen with tons of pedals at outdoor concerts - I've burnt my hand on a pedal on stage in the sun!
Hi Rebel.... Well, ok! I'll have to figure out a cooling method... the hood may or may not work, It will help to see the screen and the LED's for each switch, which can't be seen at all! ....
I have another show today (Saturday) it's much cooler but still concerned....
You'd think that outdoor temps in the summer would be part of the design specification....
