This information is for guidance and applies to the standard 180 watt guitar combo. Specification 500 Watt rms continuous power rating, 250 Watt rms with the internal speaker, plus an • additional 250 watt rms when used with an external 8 Ohm loudspeaker, an r.m.s. limiter prevents power amplifier overdrive while allowing loud transients to be faithfully reproduced.

Inputs and controls two guitar input jacks, normal (A) and low gain (B) • use the normal input for most guitars, use the low gain input for very high output guitars or other signal sources. Both inputs can be used at the same time, in which case they automatically switch to normal gain.

clean / harmonic ; 2 way switch • the clean setting is pure and clean, very high headroom the harmonic setting is similar to a valve preamp, turning the guitar up and playing harder will produce more dynamic overtones. Use the gain control and guitar volume to get the best of this to suit your taste.

The rocker switch near the extension speaker socket switches the internal speaker on / off. If you are not using an extension speaker and the amp is silent, check the switch hasn't been switched off by mistake ! The power amplifier is rated for two 8 Ohm loads in parallel, e.g. 250 Watts rms, for the internal 8 Ohm speaker, plus an additional 250 Watts rms for an external 8 Ohm speaker.
There is a fuse fitted to the electrical inlet of the amplifier. Make sure the correct fuse is fitted. Never replace with a fuse with a higher Amp rating. Correct fuse ratings for the 180W rms mambo amp are; for 230V a.c. operation use a 1 Amp time-delay (T) fuse for 115V a.c.
