BASSKICK-MANUAL

5.0 TROUBLESHOOTING

ENGLISH

The BassKick is not getting any power:

-Check the mains cable to see if it is connected properly.

-The mains fuse is defective. Replace the fuse with another identical fuse. If this fuse also blows, consult your Hughes & Kettner dealer.

The BassKick is connected properly, but no sound is audible.

-The GAIN and/or MASTER controls are turned all the way down. Dial in a higher setting.

-You have patched in an effects processor and you either connected the cords incorrectly or the device is off. Check out the FX signal chain.

-You have plugged into the headphones jack, which automatically switches the internal speaker off. Disconnect the headphones.

The amp’s output level is too low.

-A device connected to the effects loop is reducing the signal level. Adjust the signal level via the device’s input or output control.

-If you have connected an additional 8-ohm cabinet and the output level is still too low, you can patch the signal to an additional power amp/cabinet system via the LINE OUT jack.

We reserve the right to make technical changes and upgrades.

When the LINE OUT jack is in use, there is an annoying hum.

-The input circuit of the device connected to the LINE OUT jack is unbalanced and an electrical or magnetic field is causing interference. Use a balanced input or situate the cables differently to reduce interference to a minimum. Do not run signal cables and power cables parallel to each other; if they must both run near each other, try to have them cross at right angles if possible.

-The grounding of the connected devices is causing a ground loop. Do not sever the ground of the connected devices under any circumstances! Attempt to solve the problem by severing the ground on one side of the balanced cable you are using to connect the devices (line cable). If this doesn’t eliminate the noise, route the signal through a DI box that offers an isolated output.

You have patched the LINE OUT signal to a mixing console, but the sound coming through the PA or recording device is totally distorted.

-The mixing console’s balanced input is not set to line level. Set the level accordingly at the mixing console. If for some reason this is not possible, patch the signal to an unbalanced line input at the mixing console or use a connecting cable with an inline pad (available from your local dealer or PA service company) to attenuate the signal.
