Do you have a schematic? I had distortion crop up in one of my mixer channels and it turned out to be bad transistors. Easy fix. Or, it could be an IC. Are the IC's socketed? Do you have a schematic? Have you isolated what's blown? Is it on the mic pre, but not the line in? Or is it both? Etc.
In my case it was in the mic pre, but not the line in, so it reduced the possible culprits to only a handful of components.

The excessive level most likely caused an active device at the input (either transistor or op-amp) to latch up and remain in that state until power was cycled.paulrichards7 wrote:Hey man, thanks for that
