It should be a 1 amp FAST blow fuse. The layout has this wrong, but the manual corrects it. Slow blow for the mains 3 amp with 120 v, 2 amp with 240 v; and 1 amp FAST blow for HT.
Here's a quick demo I did of my 100 watt HRM Today. Just picked this amp up a couple of weeks ago so still dialing it in. Playing through a custom Fusco 2x12 speaker cab loaded with Celestion G12 65s. Recording was done with a single Sure SM 57. Using a TC Electronic reverb pedal and an Alesis Nanoverb for delay which is also managing the makeup gain through the effects loop. Backing track picked off YouTube. Couple of clams in there but...
Very nice!!! it always amazes me how much the tone and drive of the HRM is different than the HRM Bluesmaster. Very smooth and creamy!!
cool!! word of advice, get a 5 pack. the reason? something made it blow. if you replace it and it blows again, then the real troubleshooting begins, for example, starting with the tubes, if they short or red plate, it can blow the fuse... let's hope it just randomly blew
The HT fuse is the fuse on the HT (high voltage) winding of the transformer, in other words the voltage to the plates, screens, and grids of the tubes when you switch the amp off of standby to operate. It is located on the bottom of the chassis. The light on front will not glow if the mains fuse is blown, in other words, no power will go from the mains to the power transformer at all. That is the fuse on the rear of the chassis.
Thanks plastic..as an aside how did you get name Ha ha, not laughing at you but me it is sort of a tongue twister. Don't know if you were referring to amp but assume you were. The guitar in combination with this amp ought to be awesome. I have wanted a thin line for a while and though I haet to admit it..Gary Clark Jr. plays the shiite out of one at stage volume and it sounds Terrific. Clean for Jazz.. I post here when I get it all back. Thanks for the suggestions and help. I wish I could help but my knowledge of electronics is limited
Oh ya, that casino will sound great thru the OTS for sure. Actually, the name is one of many band names we used in high school. My last name is Vona, so we kinda a did a play on the Plastic Ono Band. We also had VonanovA as a name at one time. Yeah, those were the days.
Finally figured out what my ol princeton had in it for its "second" gain stage. basically an internal version of one of these with a push pull pot which dialed in the amount of gain vs reverb you desired. it basically jumpers the reverb input and output together. mine, as i said was on a push pull and i could dial in the reverb as well as the gain. that along with the added mid control was cool. i gotta say, the extra gain was pretty intense, very in your face, and could be wild!!
just a lil piece of history and my past i though i would share!
It definetly makes a difference. At peak consumption time around here, my incoming voltage drops to around 118-119 Amp sounds kinda dull. When it's back up to 120-121, the amp sounds much more lively.
I think is has more to do with the preamp than the output side. That's why I think if one wants to put VVR in of these, it should be output side only.
