NEW FARFISA OWNER

[britta]

Hello to everyone !
Greetings from Europe!
I have a farfisa combo compact but I don't know how to use it at all.
I'm very interessted in combo organs and I would love to play this beautiful organ
I have some silly questions, I'm sorry..
I don't know how I can make this work (what kind of amplifier should I use, a transformer etc )
At the back of my farfisa :Volts 117- cycles 60 - watts 23
and also somewhere it's written "only type 0,5A "
I really appreciate your help because I'm despaired and no one I know can help me
Thank you a lot!

ok, 0.5A is the fuse type. 117 volts is wall outlet in america. not sure what it is by you, someone overseas will have to answer that. personally, i have no idea about transformers, is there something wrong with yours? as far as amplifiers, i use my guitar amp and it works fine.

Hi Britta & Welcome,

117V is the US voltage; you must buy a transformer in a supermarket or diy shop to convert our european 220V.

for amps, check this page of the forum:
combonation.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=basic&action=display&thread=203

then, just fiddle with the buttons to find your sound and then, it will be time to start practising: begin with Louie Louie...

Where about are you from by the way? I'm from France...
