kb300 cut off

Post by andomando » Sat Feb 06, 2016 4:44 am

Hi everyone,I have a problem with my KB300 amp..it works well while jamming at home,i run a drum machine and my bass player plays through it ok for over two hours every three weeks.
But ?? when i have try to use it at a gig with my guitar, it only lasts for about five minutes then cuts off,with no sound,,lucky i carry another amp with me so i can use the peavey speaker with it.this has happened more than once.
Any help would be great.
regards

I have similar issue with my KB100.

I just opened the top and sprayed some contact cleaner into the POTS and inputs hoping it would help.

Plugged in my phone and it sounded great... for... maybe 20 minutes... then it cut out.

When it does cut out, the sound comes back on turn the power off/on quickly; in the past it also came back in with a pop when I plugged something into the "Patch Out/In" jack briefly.

Essentially -- this amp has been sitting idle for several years now because of this problem.. I'd love to put it back into use! Anyone have ideas on this?

Does anyone read these? I still have an unusable (unreliable) but otherwise solid amp.

Sorry Rob, you stuck yours on the end of someone else's and we never noticed it. I look every day.

Always best to start a new thread for your amp.

CHeck the solder on your patch jack and spray some cleaner into it, that is a strong clue.
