                                                                 PLEASE NOTICE
To secure the best possible long term operation the Custom Shop 50 is a all hand wired point to point construction. The Custom Shop 50 is an all tube amplifier using KT66 output tubes, the KT66 is a very large tube and to secure the longest life on the tubes PLEASE TRANSPORT & HANDLE WITH CARE. 

For operation turn on the mains power switch, and wait a minute so the tubes can be warm before turning on the bypass switch.

When using extra 2x12" speaker cabinet; rewire the internal speakers from parallel 4 Ohm operation to serials 16 Ohm operation, and use a 16 Ohm external cabinet. Set the speaker select switch to 8 Ohm.
