Gallien-Krueger 2001RB Hum.

[Chronicle]

So I've come to the conclusion that my GK2001 is making some hum. I have it plugged in with a monster speakon cable into a Avatar 4x10 Cabinet. I also have the GK in bridged mode.


What i did so far:

-Checked if it was my Furman by plugging the GK into the wall, hum continues.
-Not my bass as i am using the EHX Hum Debugger and its not my pedals.
-Cab is brand new so i don't think so.
-Bringing the GK to Guitar Center tomorrow to test out different cabs/cables to see if that's the problem.
-Tried using a ground lift, no go.
-Dual mono mode also hums.

So what could be wrong? ._.

Does your amp hum with just the speaker cabinet connected?

Mine started doing that, I had it cleaned, they said nothing was wrong with it... I took it in to a different tech twice, after he "fixed" it twice we exchanged unflattering words. I was afraid to sink more money into repairing it and changed amps. I was able to sell it later on because it was still outputting normal volume and the hum wasn't terrible.
Moral of the story: Take it to a real GK tech or a wizard or consider selling it.

Yes, nothing in, just speaker out connected.

If the hum is severe enough in this condition it's time to have the amp looked at by a GK tech.

It must need new capacitors!!

LOL Sorry, I just couldn't resist!
