A detection device for sensing malfunctions in a wide band power amplifier, driving the take-up spool motor of a reel-to-reel tape transport system, is disclosed. A feedback loop is connected from the output of the amplifier to a malfunction junction positioned at the input of the amplifier. The signal at the malfunction junction is monitored and compared with a predetermined range of standard reference signals. Whenever the malfunction junction signal is out of the predetermined range, the power amplifier is turned off thereby preventing damage to the tape. A filter means is positioned so as to desensitize the compare means until the amplifier is operating at steady state.
