So I have had this head for about 7 years and all of a sudden it just **** out on me.....it fades in and out i have tried numerous cords and such and replaced the battery in my bass a few times....but to no avail nothing has worked out i brought it to a music shop and they said they tested it charged me $70 and found no problems.....weird......so i opened up the amp looked inside and wow not a single speck of dirt or anything inside.....anyone know how to fix this problem....???
Try using a short patch cord from the effects send jack to the effects return jack. There are contacts in the effects return jack that interrupt the signal to the power amp. When that connection corrodes it can cause all kinds of strange troubles.
Hi richiebones
Dont you hate that when yo rig does what it wants, and probably in the middle of a gig too!! what sort of cab are you using with it,and did the shop test it also? Waiting you reply

What is the next step?
