Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] M400 current draw

Hi John,

The M400 should draw very little current and your problem lies elsewhere I suspect.

Hi Martin,


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.

Regards,

John

Hello John,

Is it the fuse in the SMS2 that keeps popping?

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
