RB800 Gallien Krueger volume problem.

[filibertin]

Has anyone ever had the problem of volume fluctuation with their Gallien Krueger? Lately when playing the volume decreases and increases on its own. Any suggestions as to the cause and how to fix it?

Try the ole clean/bypass the effects send and return jack with a patch cable trick.

Yep effects return jack internal contacts are dirty.

I have the same problem with my RB800 a friend of mine told me it could be the capacitors. ? My amp is 10 years old,I'm thinking to buy a new amp or maybe take it to be repair ( ? $ )
note: I cleaned the contacts all ready and it worked fine for two gigs than go back with the same volume problem.

Then you probably did not do a through job of cleaning the effects return jack! A tech could do a better job of it for you, probably cheap.
I doubt the caps are bad yet.
