No no no - who reads manuals?! 
 

Seriously though, thanks for trying to help me out

I hope your bass doesn't have a flat battery.

Ha! No! That has caught me out before  -not this time!

Think I figured it out - the stereo and bi-amp buttons on the back  - soon as I pressed them the volume leapt up!

Before you open it up to check the valves, have you tried using the amp with 1 cab?   Do your cabs/leads work 100% with a different amp?  Is it possible to try the amp with different cabs/leads?  

 

Is the cab new from a shop?  

 

<edit>

 

Just reread your first post and I assume these are the cabs that you trialled it with initially!  However... are they the cables you got with it? Might still be worth trying with other cabs/cables to be sure it is the amp at fault.   

Yes tried it with one cab - its so quiet i can barely hear it.

Cabs are 2nd hand, the whole rig is.

they are the correct and same cables.

Sorry guys, especialyy @BassmanPaul and thank you for the responses! Ive just been mega busy this past week.

i did as @blisters on my fingers    suggested and it turned out the tuner was connected incorrectly! I pulled that out and it made a difference to the volume so thank you for that one but its still pretty quiet. in the shop it was mega loud, at home its still pretty quiet so theres something not right.

will try your suggestions and let you know!

the other jack leads in the back are for the tuner in/out.

I have no idea how to check the valve?

Here is how I have it connected - is that correct? 

Thank you!

I recently got offered the deal of a lifetime - a warwick Pro Tube IX with 2 neon pro cabs at absolute bargain price. I tried it out and it ROARED out of the speakers, even on volume number 3 - awesome! - I had to have it! 

So I bought it and got it home, plugged it all in and...... oh. It barely makes a noise. Volume 3 is so quiet its barely audible. Ive played around with all the settings and channels, tried every permutation of basses and leads I own and still no improvement. Thinking I must have wired it up wrong somehow I have also tried every permutation and input with the speakon cables but still with the gain cranked right up it is  pretty quiet. I've scoured the internet but there are no diagrams on how it should be set.

I'm certain it was way louder in the shop and the tone was killer. At home it is really quiet and the tone is a lifeless dull thud no matter what setting I have it on and swiching between channels does change the tone.....a bit.

What am I doing wrong? I will take it back if I have to but thought maybe you guys might have experienced similiar or might know what's wrong.

Thanks
