The Guitar Amplifier Current Limiter Junior (GACL JR)
(aka Dim Bulb Tester or Light Bulb Limiter) was designed to be used to test guitar amplifiers for shorts, but it can also be used with other electronics.
It uses an incandescent light bulb to absorb excessive current caused by a short circuit to light brightly when there is one. This saves fuses and other parts from burning up, which can be costly or difficult to repair or replace (ex. transformers, special parts no longer made, etc.).
It's a very handy and useful piece of test equipment to:
· Safely test old guitar amplifiers
· Test amplifiers that are blowing fuses
· Safely turn on newly built amplifiers
· Form filter capacitors
When a normal, properly working amplifier is plugged into the GACL JR
and turned on, the light bulb lights up brightly for a second and then gets dim. This is normal as there’s an initial current rush, which then settles down. If the amp has a short, you'll know it immediately as the light bulb stays brightly lit. This is why it's also known as a "dim bulb tester" or “light bulb limiter”.
Includes:18AWG three conductor power cord with three prong plug Light bulb socket
This is a “must have” for vintage guitar amplifier collectors and for amplifier, radio and electronics service, repair and modification. You'll find yourself using it often as one of the first tools you reach for when checking out an amp.
