I've been using my new GDec (15W) for about one week now and all was good until tonight. The sound completely cuts out and then comes back a few seconds later. Not know too much about this stuff, I tried a different guitar and a different cable, just to make sure, but it still happened. If I rotate the dial a little, it comes right back.

Anyone else had this problem?? Any suggestions??

I haven't had that happen on my GDEC, but it sounds like what I have had happen on other amps - the input jack gets dirty. The solution was to spray a Q-tip with contact cleaner and clean around the inside of the input jack of the amp. I also did my guitar's jack and the cable 1/4" jacks. All better.

I got mine from Radio Shack, but you can probably get it from the auto parts store too. It was called Puretronics Contact Cleaner.

Best of luck!

Hey Guys,

There was an issue early on with headphone jack not releasing audio back to the speaker. If this occurs, just insert the headphones into the jack about 20 times. If that doesn't work, you may need to have the jack replaced.
