    Troubleshooting My Rumble 25 Amp

    I have a Rumble 25 amp in my office. It makes a buzzing noise when turned on, and I can hear sound through the Aux In port. But when I play my bass, it doesn't make any sound except for a brief noise when I slap the strings really hard. I've tried different basses and cords. My other GK amp works fine. Should I repair it, and where can I get it fixed? I checked Guitar Center, but they don't seem to repair amps. Any advice would be appreciated.

    I get it; dealing with the buzzing and no sound from your Fender Rumble 25 is frustrating. Let's try a few things before thinking about repairs:

    1. Check the basics:

      • Make sure your amp is plugged into an outlet with good grounding.
      • Turn up all the volume knobs – master, gain, and aux.
      • Switch between instrument and aux inputs to see if that makes a difference.
      • Plug headphones into the jack and see if you get clear sound. This helps figure out if the issue is with the speaker or something else.
      • Ensure the mute button isn't on.

    2. If the problem sticks around:

      • Your amp might have a problem inside, which needs fixing.

    3. Options for fixing it:

      • Look for a Fender Authorized Service Center near you. You can find one on Fender's website.
      • Check out local electronics repair shops that know their way around guitar amps. Get some quotes before deciding.
      • If you're good with electronics, you might find guides online for a do-it-yourself fix. But be careful – messing up could make things worse.

    4. Extra tips:

      • Talk to Fender Support directly for more help.
      • Think about how much the repair might cost compared to getting a new amp.

    Hope this helps you out!

        These amps tend to be really problematic. I had issues with mine too - buzzing noise and cracking.
