Yeah,..... it's not perfect, but it takes some of the guess work out of a tube head.

I wonder how long those tubes will even last you before you even have to change them? Probably a long time, unless you're gigging it hard, I suppose.

I would say they're going to be in the head for some time. I'm careful with standby for powering on, and standby for shutting off.

Well, the tubes in the '82 Super Champ are the originals, but that thing never was gigged or anything like that. It all depends on use, I suppose.

That's definitely a contributing factor on tube life. Standby on power up has some thing to do with it as well. If taking a short break, standby, don't power down, just power back up shortly.

Yeah, I have a standby switch for my Orange head, even though it's tubed in the preamp, which I let cook for around 4 minutes before I put it to on position. They recommend this in their manual, so that's what I do.

Smart move. The standby let's everything gradually warm up. Not a bad idea to standby on powering down also.

Where in the hell did you find that? That's pretty cool. I love the matching head stock finishes. 8) I take it this means the Mustang got dumped, then.

That's a go on the Mustang. That's a White Opal, Special Edition Jazz, from Sweetwater Sounds. It must be a specially made up Edition for Sweetwater, like the ones made up for GC.
