It must’ve been the cable. I was able to run my guitar and then the Organelle through it with a different one.
One thing I noticed is that if I push the Terz to full volume, or even 75%, it causes the speaker to rattle a significant amount. Esp with just a guitar plugged in. Enough to completely distract from whatever it’s outputting. Kinda frustrating. No amp should struggle to output what it’s supposed to, or experience mechanical issues from just a clean guitar signal. Also, the output is never really clean. I have no choice but to add either the Silicon and/or Germanium distortion to my signal. I can’t leave those knobs turned down and only use volume or else I’ll have zero signal coming through. I’ve pretty much decided to return the Terz because of these factors. Looks really cool and I had high hopes, but was ultimately disappointed with it.
