When you look inside a solid state amp, the input is 120 vac, up to 15 amps. However, the power transformer used to feed the power supply is stepping that 120 vac down. One thing about transformers, is that as the secondary voltage goes down, the possible amperage draw goes up. As a generality, if your transformer put out 1/2 of 120vac, (60vac), your possible current draw would approx double to 28 amps.Just remember, this scenario is approx, the results may vary!
