It arrived, and on the weekend I was screwing gear into the rack, velcro up all the cables nice and neat, powered up the rack. All gear powers up except the Aphex, then I remember it has the wrong fuse in place! Turn it off and all LEDs on Aphex flash. Fuck.
I may have cooked my compressor running 0.375 amps through when it should be 0.25 amps. Cannot attempt to power it on yet, the correct fuses are in the mail. I am a fucking idiot.
I'm trying to console myself with videos of people throwing their $1,000 iphones into the toilet, ocean, sewer. And thinking stupid shit like the difference between 0.375 amps and 0.25 amps is so small and couldn't possibly kill the device.
