Help! Need help ASAP- Majesty sound cutting out!!!

[decreebass]

I gotta go back on stage in about 30 minutes, so time is of the essence-

my majesty keeps turning itself off; I plug in the cable, the signal is good for about 30 seconds and then the sound cuts off. I can unplug it and plug it back in and it's good for another 30 seconds or so. As soon as I plug a cable in, the amber light on the battery box starts blinking- eventually the light stops blinking and the sound dies. I changed batteries already and nothing seems to help. If I push and hold the piezo knob button, it eventually turns blue, but then when I release it, it goes back to blinking. And eventually dies.

I have no idea what's going on but I need help ASAP- thanks so much in advance. This problem ruined my first set, ironically during a song called "Majesty." Lol

Dodgy lead?

I I fixed it- my sound man had a battery tester and it turns out that one of the three AA batteries was bad. Dunno how the bad one got in the pack with the good ones. Thanks though

glad your sorted mate, nothing worse than technical problems in the middle of a gig

"I don't know why you bother with all that stuff" he said, as I checked batteries with a multimeter, and sorted them in order of decreasing voltage. And we packed up the gear, loaded the car and headed off to the gig.

Then during the gig his acoustic guitar sound turned to poop.

"A bit embarrassing Kev but would you have a spare battery?"

"Spare battery? Nah, you said not to bother so I left 'em at a home."

"You did what??!!"

"Nah I'm kidding, of course I have batteries. This is exactly why I bother with all that stuff, ya gob****e!"

Glad you found the issue.

Yep. I officially just put a little baggie with three new AAs in the case for ... just in case(?). That was frustrating. Missed my lead. Also forgot the power cord for my Boss GT-100 (for the 4CM with my Bogogie MkIV combo). This has been one of those days lol. Oh well. C'est la vie. Made it in time for last song, though!
