This is the A.C.’s (Alternating Current) main fuse and provides electrical current protection from outside A.C. fluctuations, as well as
power tube failure damage. Should the FUSE blow, replace it with the same rating in a slo-blo type package. The domestic U.S.
version requires a 2.5 amp slo-blo fuse. A power tube short or failure is often the cause of a blown fuse...Follow the
cold start procedure mentioned in the ON/STANDBY switch section and watch the two 6L6 tubes as you turn the
Standby switch to the ON position. If a power tube is going bad or is arcing you will see it! Flip the Standby switch to
STANDBY immediately and replace the faulty power tube and the FUSE if necessary.
If you see nothing abnormal as you lift the STANDBY switch, it is possible that a power tube shorted temporarily and
blew the FUSE. If this is the case it may work again normally. To be extra safe you may want to replace both power tubes
in the “shotgun” troubleshooting tradition and save the replaced set as spares.
NOTE: Like tires on a car, spare tubes are always a measure of good insurance. Your DC-5 was carefully constructed with reliability
in mind! Given the proper care and maintenance, it will deliver years of trouble free service. However, any pro guitarist who is out
there gigging will tell you; spare tubes are a must for the fabled cord bag and may someday be worth their weight in gold. Spare fuses
are also a very easy way to insure an uninterrupted performance.
