Hand Crafted Tube Guitar Amplifier

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 small
quiet room. Additionally, tubes have inherent noise as do resistors. However,
excessive hum (noise) can be caused by electronic devices located near the amp
or on the same circuit such as neon signs, fridges, fluorescent lights, computers,
light dimmers, aquarium pumps, etc. Hum can vary with different outlets,
rooms or buildings.
3.
Do not operate this amp without a speaker load.
4.
This amp is equipped with a 2A thermal circuit breaker instead of a fuse. If a
problem develops with the amp, the circuit breaker will open and the amp will
not operate until the circuit breaker is re-set. The circuit breaker is located on
the bottom of the amp chassis behind the rectifier tube. After re-setting the
circuit breaker, if the amp does not operate or continues to pop the breaker, the
amp needs service.
