SPECIFICATIONS: (All Models)RATED OUTPUT POWER:2 x EL 34 power tubes: Pentode 60 watts / Triode 30 watts2 x 6L6 power tubes: Pentode 50 watts / Triode 25 wattsPOWER CONSUMPTION:350 watts max.FUSES:Main power fuse (rear panel): 3 amp Slo Blo (100v, 115v), 1.5 amp Slo Blo (230 v)Power tube heater fuse (internal): 3 amp Slo BloCHANGING TUBES:Always use caution when changing tubes. The power switch on the amplifier should be turned off and the powercable unplugged from the source.CHANGING POWER TUBES - The tubes should be cool. When changing the power amp tubes slip off the springloadedsilver tube retainer and carefully work the tubes out of the ceramic socket by pulling down while rockingthe tube slightly and gently. When re-installing power tubes, note that both the tube base and the pin positions are“keyed” to the socket. Make sure that you seat the tube base properly in the socket and carefully push it tight intothe socket. Confirm that the BIAS SWITCH is in the correct position for the type of power tubes being used.CHANGING PREAMP TUBES - The tubes should be cool. Each preamp tube is secured with a special tube retainerthat keeps the tube seated properly and also helps to counter-act unwanted tube micro-phonics. A small Phillipsscrewdriver will be needed to unscrew the round tube retainer. After this retainer has been removed, rock the tubeslightly and gently while pulling up on the tube and remove it carefully. When re-installing preamp tubes, note thatthe pin positions are “keyed” to the socket. Make sure that you seat the tube pins properly in the socket and carefullypush it tight into the socket. Reattach the round tube retainer. Make sure the rubber grommet inside the tuberetainer securely holds down the preamp tube.Important note: It is critical to the optimum performance of the El Diablo 60 that a premium high grade12AX7 tube is used for the first tube in the signal chain (located directly behind the input jack). This tubemust be selected for its very low micro-phonic content in order to minimize high gain feedback or squeal inthe Hot channel when using maximum gain settings at high volumes.OUTPUT TUBE BIAS – Refer to the Tube Bias Section listed previously in this owner’s manual.WARNING!• The use and operation of this device constitutes an agreement of full release of any and all liability connected withits use.
