Peavey powered sub problem.
Can't be that much difference due to the fact it's a PA piece of kit, so can I ask a question please?
Having been playing music through it, and it's satellite speakers at a gig, after about an hour I noticed the sat speakers 'farting' despite the fact that they were not being over driven, and then a hum kicked in, which proceeded to get louder!
Obviously a problem occurring in the amp, but what could it be?

Doesn't sound good, partial output stage failure maybe?

I tried a lot of Pro power amps when i was really into Studio Engineering. I always thought most sounded a bit nasty to my lugholes. Thank heavens Quad used to make em..The '240' Power amp was like a breath of fresh air.

You can get a PA to sound 'hi fi' . If it isn't brokenit's the x-over distortion in the power amps that screw the sound I reckon.
I think you'll need to book it into a pro shop for repair, Craig.

That and usually the signal goes through balanced to unbalanced converter (even if it is unbalanced) made with crap op amps and in many amps will also go through things like limiter/anti-clip circuitry also with naff op amps. Horses for courses though, they're built to go bloody loud with decent sound not amazing sound at domestic volumes.

I'm using a jukebox amp at moment. Its pretty good tbh. Stereo or monoblock; Ive got 4 of them, and pretty heavy they are too. Surprising how nice they can sound with right speakers.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
