Great stuff thanks. I will try tomorrow. Yes the first thing I did was remove the behringer. Then check all the knobs. I couldn't believe it wasn't just me being stupid but I don't think it is.....!

I think its the preamp....? Sounds bad on the headphone out? Is my logic correct?!

Well further to my other post this has just happened to my rb800. Lost volume. Fuzzy. Putting a lead in the effects send / return sorted the problem for a minute but now doesn't! So needs a service!

And its gonna get relegated to spare!!!!! So what am I gonna get instead....... Should I buy new?!!!!!

Ok i think there isn't much mystery. I hadn't thought to try the headphones out on the amp. Unplugged the bb2. The headphones out sounds the same. And there is a nasty click turning the amp on and off even with the mute on. So how do you get a gk amp fixed?????!!!

Aaargh...... I bought a second hand GKMB800 off ebay and a new Barefaced Bb2 a few months ago in preparation for getting some gigs. Luckily I haven't yet..... I always practice on headphones at home so have really hardly used this setup in anger. The other three members of my family are out at the Queen pic (which I declined due to actually having been at Live Aid so I don't think I need to see myself in CGI....). Anyway spent an hour playing reasonably loud. But not mental. Gain and level on amp still a lot below noon. Just going to stop and something seems to have gone wrong! Now at noon the volume has about halved and there is a nasty fuzz. I thought maybe a flat battery on my behringer bddi thing but no. I sort of can't believe it..... Keep thinking it is me! Now obviously I know I need to test the amp with a good speaker and the speaker with a good amp but I can't do that for a few days. In the meantime I will obviously fret. Which is more likely to have half blown?! I have tried both channels on the amp. Same. I suppose i should go and buy another speakon tomorrow. I have tested the bass and cable through the mixer and headphones I usually practice on and they are fine. Grrrrrrr. What does a blown driver sound like?!!!! Can an amp half blow up?! Why me?! Seems like if I get a gig I need a spare amp. Although actually I do have some QSC K10s that actually could probably work in an emergency.

Really excellent. Great work.

The correct reply to this topic is obviously "pardon"!!! On a serious note I have just started playing again semi seriously at the age of 49. I have had two lots of ear surgery on one ear for cholesteotoma, the most recent 6 months ago. I didn't play in any loud bands in my 20s but did spend an inordinate amount of time clubbing and also had an unfortunate incident with a firework with a very short fuse in China. So I have tinnitus in one ear though my actual hearing is ok. Before I start gigging I want to be prepared. Looks like moulded 17db plugs from acs or equivalent might be a good start?

I don't think so..... They are too busy playing to post on forums? And anyway I don't think they know what a forum is?

23?

How old are all you guys?????!!!!

Ok as a former Londoner i have to recommend my favourite trip which is a clipper boat down the Thames. As someone suggested above you can get to Greenwich on it. Fun fun fun! Get on at Westminster after looking at Big Ben!
