Just like that? You aren't going to check the drivers separately or even check the wiring or your cable beforehand? Youv deserve whatever raping they give you,IMO.

Its gay,huh? And you haven't even eliminated your speaker cable or the amp itself as the possible culprit. WOW! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Diezel Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 Originally posted by brutalmoe420 could it be my cables or a short in the speakers? What's your setyup? When you unplug the guitar input to the amp, do you hear any hiss coming from the speaker(s)? If not, then chances are the speakers and/or speaker cable isn't the problem. Do you have another cab to tereye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thing is you need to get your head out of your ass Troubleshoot each step that could cause the problem. Do you have a Volt OHM meter? With it you can trace from the input jack to the speakers. If you speakers are wired in series one could have opened up causing the current path to break. What can you hurt by taking it apart and do an inspection. It may just be a wire connecter that came loose. Go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And make sure to play some Jimi Hendrix EXTRA loud while you do it. Drop on your knees in front of it while it burns and play the intro of House Burnin' Down on repeat while you cry your ass out with a bottle of whisky in your hand. Oh yeah, wear some leather pants and a silk shirt, unbuttoned if possible. P.S Scream a few "WWWHHYYYYYY" once in a while if you can, chicks dig that.

Members DerekB Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 Originally posted by Diezel Before you burn that gay bastard, check the fuse. Yup that's more than likely the problem. Just look at the fuse Moe and you can easily tell if it's shot out and if so bring it with you when you go to Radio Shack. You'll be up and running in no time I'm sure.

Members brutalmoe420 Posted September 1, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 are there more than one fuses i would have to check and how would i check besides just looking and seeing if one is melted or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little wire inside will look broken and discolored. The amp probably has 2 fuses which more than likely can be found in the back of the amp/ Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zac102 Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 here are the things that you need to check out, in order: 1. guitar 2. instrument cable 3. amp head 4. speaker cable 5. cabinet 6. individual speakers here's how to check them, starting with your setup alltogether: unplug the guitar, with the cable still in the input, and the amp on, tap the end of it, do you hear a pop or buzz? if you do, the whole setup is fine, its your guitar that's the problem. if you do not hear a pop, replace the cable with another one and try again. also, verify that you have continuity from plug to plug. swap out your head for another one, if there is still no sound, go back to the original. after you've eliminated the front end, check your speaker cable just like you did your instrument cable. if this still isn't the problem, move to the speaker cabinet. again using your multimeter to check for continuity and resistance, check the cabinet by putting your test probes on the terminals inside the jack, if it reads open, you have either a bad driver(speaker) or a bad connection, which should be easy to trace. if it reads 0 or close to zero, you have a short.

Members brutalmoe420 Posted September 1, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 smart-ass, just kidding. thanks for the advice guys. i'm going to see if i can get a new cab from my brother and try to fix the behringer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zac102 Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 Originally posted by Diezel no, my order was correct for me. I've had way too many issues with guitar output jacks and bad cables not to check those first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members peehoo Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 Oh my... Just check the cabinet with different gear (that includes everything, guitar, cables, head). So you'll be sure that the cabinet is {censored}ed. Then burn that sun of a bitch and proceed milking your brother for a new one... If you show up at the shop with a working cabinet only to find out that your cable or sth is broken than you'll really look like a retard. If that bothers you...
