I purchased it back in January of this year. Had a weekend of gigs and in the middle Saturday nights gig I lost all sound and fault light came on. I was not driving it hard, it had plenty of breathing room, and the place venue was fairly cool.. Talk about frustration:mad:.. Luckly we had a sub...

It says Mark II on the front. I don't see any rev levels on either the preamp or power CCA.

I will add that replacing entire CCAs isn't absurd, at least not in my line of work. I was an ATM tech for many years and now I'm the manager. As a tech in the field we never replaced componets. We replaced entire CCAs (there is at least 15 to 20 CCAs in an ATM). We then sent them in to our...

I have more details. I 100% postive the semiconductor that mounts to the heatsink is bad. Two of the legs from it have burnt siolder joints and the semi conductor is cracked (barely noticeable, but definitely cracked. Here is a link to the exact same semiconductor, [This invalid link has been...

Again, Thanks guys. Georgestrings, Effects send from the GK to my fender blues deluxe workds fine. I get NO output/sound from the GKs effects return, coming from my blues deluxe. I'm with Will, its got to be the power amp section. If I could order a replacement board myself, I'd do it if the...

Thanks for the reply and detailed instructions. I just did some test. The XLR direct out works, both pre and post. The effects send from the GK to another amp works. The mute button appears to be working, red LED when muted. I don't have a speakon cable to try those jacks. I'm testing using the...

Thanks Jero182 for being kind/cool. After reading Stick Players comment I thought, "dang, did I come off as an arrogant horn tootin ass?" I was a little winded, but I type fast. Now I realize you can't avoid folks like stick player on forums, they are on every forum. Alot of people automatically...

Thanks Wave Rider.. I'll try that out when I get home tonight.

Come on guys.. You don't have to be a 'amp' tech to fix an amp. You don't have to be and electrician to wire a house, I've done it. You don't have to be a carpenter to build something, I've done it. You don't have to be able to read schematic to fix an amp. I actually took a 2 year electronic...

A friend of mine purchased a used GK 1001rb head about 2 years ago from a guitar center. He used the head daily and gigged with it about 3 times a week for the 2 years he had it. At his last gig he said the amp just went dead, volume slowy faded to nothing, yet the power light stayed on. I just...

Drummer, "playing with you guy is like backing the f*ck up". This was said after he 'thought' he was on his way of making it big. Same Drummer says to the bartender at the the end of the night, "Look, I'm just gonna say it.. You got a nice body, and I'd F*ck you." She walked away.

Thanks for all the input. I really appreciate it. I held off on ordering until this morning, since MF woudn't ship it out until today anyway. I'll be going with the PF500 and the PF115HE! Stiles, As far as the corners of the cab not being protected. The back of the flip top doesn't appear to...

Alright.. The pf500 it is.. I was leaning that way all day long, but my tight ass was trying to justify not spending the extra $100. I got the money, just hate to spend it! Now I'm left trying to decide between the 2 cab I've mentioned, the b115e or the pf115he. The PF looks sweet and I read it...

Thanks for the input.. I understand I can back the power down. My concern is the pf500 with the b115e cab, is the pf500 to much for those cabs. I don't want a bottle neck at the speakers, thus my reasoning for wondering if I should stick with the pf350 amp.

Yet another which amp and cab to buy question, but my question may be a bit different because I can't try any of them out before I buy them. The only music store close to me sells only behringer, and thats not what I want. I've been borrowing a bassamp (yorkville bassmaster 400 combo) for the...
