- 4 - REAR PANEL FEATURES FUSE Should your .50 Plus blow its fuse, be sure to replace it with a 2.5 Amp Slo -Blo type. Should the fuse repeat its blowing, check for a bad power tube . Often it will light up red hot all over the large metal plate inside.
- 5 - SPEAKER JACKS One 8 -ohm and two 4 -ohm speaker jacks are provided on the 50 Plus. Use the 8 -ohm jack for maximum power and clarity with the enclo sed 12" speaker (if combo version) or when using a single MESA one- twelve or four -twelve cabinet.
- 6 - Your amplifier is equipped with a metal shield that clamps in under the preamp tubes, to protect them from vibration, flying footswitches, and other hazards. To gain access to the preamp tubes, merely release the barbed nylon catches and the aluminum plate will fold down on concealed hinges.
