The Mellotron Group

Hi John,

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

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.
