Default Peavey XR684 mixer amp

Peavey typically put a Triac circuit on the speaker outputs to short and
blow the amp/fuses instead of the speakers should it go DC.

I tend to use a dual bench current limited supply, and remove the Triac when
troubleshooting.


** The Kook needs to disconnect the relevant triac crow bar and see if that fixes the problem - could be that it is being triggered by a switch on thump.

Also check the ESR and uFs of the electros in the trigger circuits - if any have lost capacity, triggering becomes more sensitive to large LF signals.
