Weekend over and still the offending glow or hum has not returned[url]:shock:[/url]. I'm gonna monitor it and see how it goes. What am I gonna say, the tube glowed once but not doing it now? If it does it again I'm taking it back for sure. Cheers for all the helpful advice.

My Blues Junior did this once. The extra-bright power tube was accompanied by a noticeable change in the tone of the amp (that's what led me to look at the back). I switched it off for a couple of minutes and switched it back on, and it has never happened again. I've probably used the amp for 50 hours since it happened (including transport and use at gigs), and it has been working fine.

I have a backup set of tubes on-hand, of course, but I haven't used them.

I submitted a question to Billm that day. You can read his response here:

Always be sure the tubes are properly seated.
