General Amplifier Operation
Some DO NOTS
•
Never, Never, Never run the amp without a speaker plugged in. This can cause major
Output Transformer damage.
•
Do not flip the power switch off, and then back on rapidly. This can cause power
supply damage.
•
Never replace a burned out fuse with a bigger-amperage one. Remember - there was a
reason the first one burned out, usually protecting something more expensive. Putting
a bigger fuse in will just ratchet up the power level until something really vital burns
out. If the second equal-rating fuse pops, turn it off and get a tech to look at it.
•
Never ignore signs of high heat inside - a wisp of smoke or a burning smell is
NOT
normal.
•
Your amp produces lots of heat, and will continue to do so even if you block the fresh
air vents. Blocking the vents will overheat the amp and you may have to get some very
expensive repairs done.
•
Never ignore a red glow other than the small orange ends of the filaments. A red glow
over a large part of the internal plates of the output tubes means they're about to melt.
If you notice this, shut it down and get a tech to help you find out what it wrong.
•
Some DOs
•
Add another speaker into the "external speaker" jack; a mismatched speaker load won't
kill it, while an open circuit (disconnected speakers) may do so.
Note
that in the long term, unless you have an impedance switch, the impedances should be
matched to the OT , as in this case of the Tweed , 8 ohms, or 2 16s in parallel.
•
Overdrive the stuFfing out of it. Tubes are very forgiving of massive overdrives, unlike
solid state stuFf. As long as they tubes don't overheat or stay overdriven for long
periods, it's not fatal.
