FAQ
I hear hum, what do I do?
You may have a ground loop. To fix a ground loop, try a ground
loop isolator or an EbTech HumX.
There’s no sound for a while after I turn Saga on.
That’s perfectly normal. Saga delays the output for 20 seconds
after you first turn the preamp on.
What’s with the clicking noises when I turn the volume?
That’s the sound of the mechanical relays in the relay-switched
stepped attenuator. Also normal.
The volume knob doesn’t seem to work.
When you adjust volume with the remote, you have to turn
down the volume to minimum before the knob is enabled
again. You know, for safety.
Can I leave Saga on all the time?
You can, but it’ll dramatically shorten the tube lifespan.
Can I use both outputs at the same time?
Most of the time, yes. If you have products that short the input
when turned off, then that can cause distortion.
It doesn’t turn on, what do I do?
Plug it in to a different AC socket. Ensure you are not
currently in a blackout. Then email us if it still doesn’t work.
