No, the Mellotron is just fine when I'm playing with one amplifier. Problem is when playing with several friends and we have a Hammond, two other tube amplifiers, 1,000 watt sub and a a few lights. Sometimes I blow the circuit breaker in the garage. I always power up keyboards first and amps last; reverse order when shutting down. I think I have 15 amp service to my home, so it may just be a matter of having an electrician do some balancing. I mentioned the Tron because of its motor and I thought those were pretty big current users.

Probably been asked, but I'm not sure. How many amps does the M400 draw? I've been popping a circuit breaker every now and then and need to redistribute the load.
Thanks,
John
