Troubleshooting

First check that your shielded guitar cable, speaker cable, and power cable are 

connected correctly. If possible, use a tester to check the cable or try using an 

alternate cable or amp to verify your cable’s condition.

1. The power supply cannot be switched on.

• Check that the power cable has been connected correctly.

• Try plugging it into a different socket and see if the same problem occurs.

2.  The power supply can be switched on, but no sound is 

heard.

• Check that the bass guitar has been connected correctly.

•  Remove any external components connected to the effects loop and between 

the bass guitar and the amplifier and check to see if any sound is heard.

• Use a different shielded cable and check to see if any sound is heard.

• Check to see if the volume on the bass guitar is set to “0”.

• Use a different bass guitar and see if any sound is heard.

• Check to see if the volume on the amplifier is set to “0”.

• Check to see if the headphones are connected.

3. Noise is heard.

•  Check  to  see  if  anything  in  the  immediate  vicinity  is  resonating  or  banging 

against the amplifier to produce the noise.

• Check to see if the plug cover on the shielded cable is loose.

• Make sure that the action (string height) of your bass guitar is set correctly.

•  Use another bass guitar, effects or other external components, and cable to 

see if the same noise is produced.

4. No sound when you connect a CD/MP3.

• Make sure that the volume of the CD/MP3 player is not turned to 0.

• Make sure that the cable is connected correctly.

• Try using another cable and see whether any sound is heard.

5. The CD/MP3 sounds wrong.

Does the cable you’re using have a stereo plug? Could you be using a monaural 

plug?

6. No sound is produced in the headphones.

• Check that the headphones are connected correctly.

• Connect another set of headphones and see if sound is produced.
