Thanks very much for the response. Yeah one of the first things I had checked was the power cable, and it seems ok. Again it tends to do this more on an uneven surface then when on the floor. I was thinking it may have some thing to do with cords underneath at first, but they're all pretty...

Hi, I have a pedal board that includes a Zoom B3 on it as well as a host of other effects and a Keith McMillen 12 Step. The B3 as well as all of my other bass effects and tuner are powered by a Trutone One Spot CS7 and there is plenty of power to spare. The 12step and a blue tooth transmitter...

I just wanted to follow up on this post as the outcome was interesting. The tech who repaired my amp ended up having to do some wire tracing to repair what I had done (lesson learned), but he also noted that the solder job done at the effects/tuner jacks at the GK factory were terrible and that...

BTW, I did check Full Compass and I didn't see any 1001RB II preamps on the site. Plenty of other parts, but not those unfortunately.

I took the amp to a repair tech. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks for all of the responses and good advice.

I put them back on the right way, but not sure it matters. What I'm finding is when doing continuity checks the back two pins on the input jack don't really show anything. So either I fudged the solder joints or fudged the board. Unfortunately there is only one amp tech where I live (San...

I may go that route as well. So you called GK in Stockton and asked them about sending back to the factory?

Do you remember what you paid to have yours fixed via GK?

I just ran continuity checks on the jack. I'm assuming I just insert the red probe in the jack and the black to the soldered joint above correct? It looks like I get good readings from all of the effects jacks, but the input jack I just replaced doesn't seem to give me much of a reading on the...

Yep, the effects loops haven't been touched. The original connections from GK.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying? All the connectors are connected to the main board. And the one longer connector is still connected to the input board. The only connectors not connected are the ones to the input board for the tweeter and woofer.

I ran This photo is helpful. It "looks" like the wired portion of the tweeter and woofer connector sits closer to the interior of the board? You wouldn't happen to know if the edges facing the outside of the board have ridges or are smooth would you?

Here is one more photo of the lead connector from the top. The hole notches are closer to one edge than the other, but I didn't mark which edge was supposed to be facing out on the input board.

Here is the resoldered jack. These are the effects jacks for comparison This is the tweeter lead I was mentioning. The tweeter and woofer leads in the input board both have the same connector. And they can be put on either way.

Yes those are the leads, but it is the other end (the board that has all the inputs) that I forgot to mark. They can be inserted onto the two prong leads in either direction. I thought I had put them on correctly, but in either case it didn't work either way. I'll post some photos of the...
