Is it detrimental to tolex or any of the electrics to leave the vinyl cover constantly on the amp.? I worry about the unit not being able to breathe and causing damage. Is that a justifiable concern? It's hard to keep the humidity other than in the 50/60% range where I live.

I always leave my amps uncovered at home for this very reason. Moisture-sensitive materials and components (wood, wood products, adhesives, paper, etc) should aspirate normally under such circumstances.
