oh by the way....I have over 300 o.d and dis. pedals.What I think sounds best in this amp guitar>mxr custom badass o.d.>JHS Angry Charlie=any sound you want!
what i mean is I'm wondering if running it in the 5 watt mode(which supposedly makes the amp "break up" quicker) shortens tube life as opposed to the 25 or 50 watt mode.My first tube amp,and maybe this is a stupid question?
