A light behind the speaker? Gallien Krueger RBH410

The strangest thing happened at rehersal tonight. An orange light started glowing right behind the top left speaker in my GK RBH410! It was glowing at the same pace as i played. Have anyone heard of anything similar?

The amp was cool, with no smell of anything burning. I turned it of for about an half hour, and later the light was gone. Im really confused!

they use light bulbs as fuses in some cabs, not sure if GK uses this method tho....

It's a speaker fuse that is warning you that you are approaching "THE LIMIT". If the sound stops at the same time the light goes out, you'll have to get inside the cab and replace the fuse (and probably turn down a notch the next time you play!).

The fuse used is usually a light bulb that is normally used as a cars overhead dome light so you should be able to get one for a few bucks at a car parts store. I know this probably sounds like drug/drunk talk ect to you but it's all in fact... TRUE!

It's the flux capacitor showing it's fully-charged. Now you just need to get the cab up to 88mph and off you go!

Alright, the speaker still sounds just like the others, so I guess there's no damage done... Thank you so much for your awnsers!

the bulb was flashing to let you know that the tweet was at it's limit.... are you running a GK head as well? ifso, you may wanna turn down the tweeter volume just a little....
