CAUTION 

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK 

 
WARNING:  This  guitar  amplifier  contains  lethal  HIGH  VOLTAGE.    To  avoid  risk  of 
INJURY  or  DEATH  from  electric  shock,  do  not  open  the  enclosure  or  remove  the  back 
cover from the amplifier.  Refer all service work to qualified personnel. 
 
 
WARNING:  This amplifier contains Vacuum Tubes.  Vacuum tubes are heated to produce 
electrical currents and they get HOT.  Touching this surface could result in bodily injury.  
To reduce the risk of injury from a hot component, allow the surface to cool before 
touching.  DO NOT touch or attempt to remove vacuum tubes until they have had time to 
cool. 
 
 
IMPORTANT!  FOR YOUR PROTECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: 
 
WATER AND MOISTURE:  This amplifier should not be used near water (near a bathtub, 
washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc).  
Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure 
through openings. 
  
POWER SOURCES:  The amplifier should only be connected to a 120VAC household 
power source.  Gas/Diesel Powered Generators or DC-to-AC converters may damage the 
power transformer. 
 
GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION:  Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or 
polarization is not defeated.  Do not remove the ground from the power cord. 
 
POWER CORD PROTECTION:  Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not 
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular 
attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the 
amplifier. 
 
SERVICING:  You should not attempt to service this amp beyond that described in the 
operating instructions.  All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel. 
 
FUSING:  Your amplifier is equipped with a 1 Amp Slo-Blo fuse on the main control panel. 
Replace this fuse with the same type and rating ONLY.  I KNOW THE CONTROL PANEL 
SAYS 2A SLO-BLO but it’s a mistake that will be corrected on subsequent amps.  That’s 
why I’m saying this again.  Also, DO NOT defeat a blown fuse with a jumper, aluminum 
foil, or other such nonsense.  It’s dangerous as hell.  It could kill you.  Or worse, it could 
cause a fire.  Don’t be a stupid idiot imbecile.  Seriously….
