which begs the question: how long are you supposed to leave amps on standby before you start playing, and how long after?
Most manufacturers (like Mesa Boogie and Marshall) reccomend at least 30 secs warm up and don't mention cool down at all. I usually put my amp on standby while I tune my guitar and faf about getting the leads sorted etc. As for cool down I usually leave it for about 5 mins but it really depends on how hot the amp is, if its been really working hard I leave it on standby while I put stuff away.
Just on the subject of new tubes - new tubes take about 4-6 hours of playing to burn in and sound sweet. Prior to that they can sound fairly harsh. Apparently you can overcome this by using cryo treated tubes - Captain Black is a bit of an expert on that if your interested.
ah but your bassman is a heavyweight, therefore punchdrunk, sluggish and slow like mohammed ali (durka durka) is now, whereas my peavey is quick and nimble on its feet - it would avoid your bassman's telegraphed 'haymakers' easily.... and it was much cheaper
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
never the less my bassman has its miniture friend the space echo, which will trip your nimble peavey classic up. This will allow the assman to justify his name

ah yes but (badly dubbed english) my XT Pod will come first, and strike your echo the dreaded 5 point ninja jab, leaving the way clear for my delta to show the bassman the deadly knee-groin assault... and we laugh in the face of your fury, somebody set up us the bomb, you are on the way to destruction, all your bases are belong to us.

Hey... you mouth was totally not moving in time with what you were saying. And why are you wearing that ridiculous samari outfit?
