5.0 TROUBLESHOOTING
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.
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.
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.

upgrades.
