FUSE:
This is the A.C.s (Alternating Current) main fuse and provides protection from outside A .C. fluctuations as well as power
tube failure damage. Should the FUSE blow, replace it with the same rating in a Slo-Blo type package. The domestic U.S. version
requires a 4 amp Slo-Blo fuse. A power tube short or failure is often the cause of a blown fuse...Follow the cold start procedure men-
tioned in the STANDBY switch section and watch the power tubes as you flip the STANDBY to the ON position.
If a power tube is going bad or is arcing you will see it! Flip the STANDBY switch down immediately and replace
the faulty power tube and the FUSE if necessary.
If you see nothing abnormal as you lift the STANDBY switch, it is possible that a power tube shorted temporarily
and blew the FUSE. If this is the case it may work again normally. To be safe, you might want to replace just the
adjacent tube or all power tubes in the “shotgun” troubleshooting tradition and save the replaced set as spares.
Spare fuses are a must for the fabled cord bag along with your spare tubes. Always carry both for they could be
worth their weight in gold someday.
SERIAL NUMBER:
The Serial Number of your amplifier is printed on a small metal tag attached to the tube side of the chassis
near the Reverb and Solo External Switching Jacks (see pg 16 for reference). You’ll need this number when registering your amplifier
for warranty.
That covers the features and functions on the Rear Panel and by now you should be ready to start crafting your dream Tone. If you
would like some examples of ways to set the modes in your Roadster for different applications, you may find the following SAMPLE
SETTINGS helpful.
We wish you a lifetime of amazing and inspirational Tone from your new musical instrument and our hope is that it takes you to new
and exciting places on your musical journey.
