    Hello, all.
    I have a gk bl600 head running through a gk 4x10 cab. This thing used to rattle the walls on moderate volume, but now I have to crank everything to ne heard over un-miced drums. The cooling fan spins, and it never shows to be overheating. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Clean all the inputs and outputs, check your cables.

    Test the speaker cab for blown speakers.

    Is it possible for all the speakers to still move and some be blown?

    Yes if they share the same space inside the cab (no separate compartments).

    Have you tried a jumper cable in the effects loop?

    Plug one end of an instrument cable into the effects send, plug the other end into the effects return. Plug your bass in as you normally do and play.
