GK 700RBII GK410&115 HELP!!

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey y'all,
I have a GK700RBII head connected to a GK GoldLine 410 cab & a GK 115MB w/horn cab. I have them connected with Monster 1/4" speaker cables. Last night at practice my drummer started to smell something electrical. The smell was coming from the bottom left 10 on my 410. So I powered down and disconnected the 410. Double checked connections powered up and continued practice playing thru the 115 cab. After about 10 min. A different stronger electrical smell and it was from the 115!! Practice was done for the night.
Can anyone point me in the right direction with possible cause and or what to do next?

It seems odd the smell would go from one cab to the next when it’s usually the head that burns.
My bet is the head was “throwing” it’s smell towards the cabs, maybe with the fan?
Try running the head again, then when you smell burn, disconnect and MOVE the cab far away from the head.
Not saying it’s not the cabs, but it seems odd.

I wouldn't! Service time for the amp. Before you really do some damage.
