Maximum wattage is 100w. You can use any size amp up to that.

If I had found this forum post first, I wouldn’t have had to duplicate the question…If there is a search posts box, I couldn’t find it…..peace…Neilcody

Got it..I see it now…half blind here…and thanks for the useful links…I think I got my answer …now I am ready to hook it up to see if it works and give it the old smoke test. An instructor once told me that everything electrical runs off of smoke and if you don’t believe me, just let the smoke out of an electrical component and see if it still works…LOL
I read the caveats about excessive load on the amp head and the ohms and proper grounding. The light bulb on the unit, should it be faint or bright while using the unit? Thanks again. Peace

YAY!!..It WORKS!..I spent about 2 hours getting to know the box and working with the sounds. The waah sound is the easiest to make, and I finally was able to make the vowel “M” (momma), but the hard consonant sound of “K or C”(Call) they are tough to make. Keeping the tongue off of the hose opening is tricky too, when that happens, sound traveling up the hose is blocked out. Technique will come with practice I am sure. Yea, I was workin on Mindbender and watched the artist up on you tube. I noticed the hose, in relation to his microphone was at about a 40 degree angle and protruding past the head of the mic about 2 to 3 inches. I experimented with opening my throat to get a deep gutteral sound and played with that a while, now, today, which began last night, I am having a case of larengitis FFS! The hose was not new, but had soaked thoroughly in bleach water. Maybe it was a coincidence. I did read that a good practice would be to lightly spray the hose end with a bit of Listerine and tieing it into a sandwich baggie (we’ve all got those lying around don’t we?) to keep it fairly sterile and so bacteria won’t grow in the tube between uses.
Aside from the real throat issue, the Electro-Harmonix Golden Throat(1) will now take its place in my pedal lineup consisting of, (from the guitar to the amp) Boss TU-2 tuner, 3-knob Fender Blender, DOD FX-57 , Ibanez TS-7 tube screamer and lastly Ibanez AD-9 delay. My wish list is to add a volume pedal and a wah-wah. Amp is a mid 70’s Bandmaster Reverb through vintage Fender cabs 2-15’s and 2-12’s sweetening the sound of a vintage ’72 Tele, Maple neck/Natural-Wht pkgd. Thanks for all the help.

I wouldn’t allow it to stay on constantly.

Hello, I was wondering how many OHMs the Golden Throat mouth tube is rated at. I saw a schematic on here and it looks like 8 OHMs. Can anyone verify this? If so and forgive my possible ignorance, when powering it with a 50 watt Marshall JMC 800 or 900 I would want to set the amp to the 8 OHM setting. Would that be correct?
