uhhh, so the power button on my GK amp is stuck

Sign in to disble this ad
So the facts:

It's the MB-210 ultralight combo

The power button is always stuck in the "on" position

The only way I can turn it off is to just unplug it, which I get done by switching off my power strip.

Why did GK go with those push buttons instead of an I/O switch? Auuuugh.


So with that said, is this something to worry about over the long term, or am I going to need to get a tech dude to fix my button?

if it's under warranty, definitely get it fixed or replaced. if not, eh...it'll probably be ok for now but will likely need replacing in the future. have you contacted gk?

Well, now it's under warranty! Guess I'll ring up GK in the next few days and get a part repair/replacement set up.

Thanks!

I have a AMP BH-420 with a stuck-on power switch and I've used the power strip for over a decade to turn it on and off.
