OK, got my new Ibanez guitar- check
Got my new Kustom Arrow 16DFX amp- check
Got nice GYC cable- check.

Plugged in amp, plugged guitar into amp- all lights and indicators operating as they should- yet the amp is not making a sound.

Am I making some gormless rookie mistake here (tried pretty much every permutation of the volume settings on both amp and guitar) or is there something amiss?

Feel free to point and stare- I just want to make some noise :-)

See if you have moved all the pots form zero. On some amps (like Marshalls etc..) you have to move the bass and treble pots from zero in order to get the sound cause they mute the volume when on zero.
Also plug out the guitar and touch the cable with your finger, if you can hear buzzing when making a contact with a live wire, then its probably the guitar, if not, it is the amp. wink.gif
