Wierdness with the GK MB210

Sign in to disble this ad
So theres a really quiet noise coming from my amp, that suddenly appeared yesterday.

with the fuzz factory on it boosts the volume obviously, and its super annoying, and high pitched. Having the gate/compression nearly all the way right is the only way to get rid of it, drive and stab are all the way right too.

the thing is if i move my bass around in diff directions the noise goes away. i tried it with both basses, and the same thing happened.

im really at a loss for what could be making the noise.

any help would be great.

note: I blew the horn playing with it and the fuzz on (accidental) but i doubt this is what the problem is since its obv been turned off, and when i turn it on the blue/red light for power flicks on and off and the color is pink.

Have you tried plugging your bass directly into the amp?

Have you tried a different guitar cable or two?

The fried tweeter may be causing the speaker's overall impedance to drop below the 4 Ω minimum load the power amp in the MB210 wants to see. Please leave the tweeter switched off or have it repaired.

yes i tried a different cable and guitar and the same thing happened.

the tweeter is off.

im thinking its a sound from the amp that otherwise wouldnt cause any trouble except theres a pedal being used here so........
