Important Information: 

 

1. 

Please read all of the information contained in this document. 

  
2. HUM - Some hum or amplified noise is normal.  As the volume is increased some 

amplified noise may be noticeable and will be more apparent in a quiet room. 
Additionally, tubes have inherent noise as do resistors.  However, excessive hum 
(noise) can be caused by electronic devices such as neon signs, light dimmers, 
fluorescent lights, aquariums, etc. located near the amp or your guitar.  Hum can 
vary with different outlets, rooms, buildings and guitar pickups.     

 
3. 

Do not operate this amp without a speaker load 

 

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 chassis from the 
cabinet.  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. 
 
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 marked fuse receptacle, replace only with the 
same type fuse.
