P a g e section and sends the guitar signal through just the output stage. If sound is now heard then the problem is in the pre-amp section and is likely to be a faulty pre-amp valve. The SEND socket is for connection to the input of effects units. On the RK50C it is a lower impedance version of the signal that appears at the INPUT. - Page 6 P a g e wooden panel. There is no need to remove the wooden panel from the amplifier or the screened back plate from the panel. To replace the output valves, carefully slide off the valve spring retainers. We recommend the use of a soft cloth or protective gloves to remove valves if possible. The valves can then be pulled out using a slow rotational movement, (dweezling) to ease them from their sockets.
- Page 7 P a g e The speaker fitted in your RK50C is a 12” G12H-65 Celestion Creamback rated at 65Watts and 16 Ohms impedance. Please take note of this impedance and take it into consideration when adding an extension speaker. You can disconnect the internal speaker if you wish to add multiple extension cabinets, but:- Always ensure a speaker is connected to the amplifier before powering up or damage to the output transformer may result.

The mains fuse is located in a small tray under the inlet which can be removed using a small flat blade screwdriver.
