Trouble Shooting Guide
If you have a problem with your amplifier, it is always best to let a fully qualified approved technician
check it over. Regular servicing should prevent any major breakdowns and is an extremely beneficial long
term precaution.
Often it is the simplest thing that needs attention and it may not be possible to get technical assistance. In
this case you may be able to keep the amp running at least until the end of the show. The greatest care
should be taken, before removing the back panel, that all mains power is disconnected. Also remember
that even after short periods valves will become very hot.
