There is a 16ohm safety load engaged when the TAE doesn't have power Hopefully you figured it all out regardless!

There is a safety load in it so shouldn’t have happened

I just borrowed one from a friend of mine I messed with it for about an hour and shut everything off and unplugged my speaker cable from it About 2 hours later I went back to work on getting a good sound so I turned it on felt around back to plug my speaker cable in plugged it in hit a chord and saw smokeI shut everything off real quick “ when I plugged my speaker cable back in I plugged it into the headphone jack instead FRIED it…now I’ll have to buy a new one to replace it $1300 bucks I don’t have

The smoke inside makes it go! Once you let it out you can’t get it back in 😅

That’s a tragedy The tube amp expander is extremely expensive here in Australia

Add a power-through circuit to your expander so that you plug your amp power into the back of the expander, both powered from one power outlet

You did not tell us what caused the issue or at least make it clear

If you turned off the amp first would it still have burned up?

I was considering this unit and read through the manual before doing the investment several times I never understood why the reactive load is not working with the power not on and considered this always as a design flawbrbrClearly one has to be careful wiring up a rig with a load box involved A lot can go wrong putting your amp at danger (actually more the amp than the load box) However none of the load boxes/attenuators I use instead of the TAE require to be powered on for "showing" the load to the amp For me this is a no-go and a very significant design flaw of the TAE Boss can write as much as they want into their manuals in regard to Do-s and Don't-s, but what happened to you should have been prevented by design!
