My 800RB has two green lights, and both stay on all the time. The Boost light can be turned off with the optional foot switch; without the foot switch, the default position is on. The other green should always be on when the amp is on.

Yes, the boost channel is on, but after a second the other green light turns off. What does it mean?

It was working but the biamp mode when switched on no sound came from the speakers. the amp was repaired today, it has a broken contact at the 1/4" input of the boost channel .

Did you send it back to GK to get fixed? Mine just crapped out and needs to be sent out. At first it made a terrible buzzing sound occasionally and now it wont power on. Green power light doesn't come on but the other one does.

I send it to a local tech. He easily fixed it when found a loose contact at the preamp circuit.

Ok. I'll see if I can find a good one locally.
