recently, I've noticed that my empeg get extremely hot, even if it's run for less thant 1 hour.(In the car. haven't tested it at home yet).
The first time I noticed it was because the volume control knob stopped working. I pulled the unit out and you could fry an egg on that thing.
today, i happened to feel the heat by touching the faceplate, but didn't notice any problem with the unit's function.

I've taken it on 10 hour drives before where it's run without any problem, so the behaviour is new.

Since my warranty is close to expiring, should I send it in for a check up ?
