Everything around here’s breaking. The first channel on my Presonus Bluetube magically broke during the night. As you can see, the first channel input is pegged to the max even though there’s nothing plugged into channel 1:
And for the past couple of months I’ve been aware the phantom power light on my Behringer Eurorack UB1204-PRO is always on regardless of the switch setting on the back:
(It’s the red light beside the blue one. Spooky!)
I guess I’ll open up the BlueTube and see if there’s anything obviously wrong inside. Wait, first I’ll shake it.
Update: shaking did nothing. I opened it up and there was nothing broken looking. Poked around a bit and tugged on wires and things, powered it back on and now it works again. La-di-da.
Update 2: It broke again after a couple days of working fine. Presonus says $65 + shipping to repair. Blergh.

I’ve been thinking of getting a Presonus Firestudio and generally heard good things about Presonus stuff, so I’m surprised it broke down. Any clues?
