Whelp, here's a new one. I have a gig later tonight and wouldn't you know it, my Classic started doin weird shit last night. I literally moved it from the bedroom to the living room to go over some songs last night and when I got the rack plugged in - all my distortion was gone. No gain whatsoever. All patches.
The FX seem to be changing, the MP-1 Classic is changing patches, but they're all flat, dry, dead. This morning, I took out the tubes, they look brand new. I hit a patch that should be my rhythm crunch and checked the voicing - SOLID STATE. I know for a fact that should be the Brown channel. So, I switch it and my distortion is back!
All my patches are now reverted to Solid State and all my EQs are now FLAT. I lost all my settings.... What gives? Is my battery dying?
I saved one patch with distortion, shut the unit off, and turned it back on. It remembered the settings. So, I guess the battery is working, or at least intermittently. Or, I mysteriously just cleared the entire memory somehow. Grrr....
I'll bring the Viper to the gig tonight
