I just picked some new power/pre tubes for my rectoverb. EL34's in the power section, flipped the bias over, but jammed the tubes in the wrong sockets! I was curious as why the guide pin was breaking...had no idea..stupid stupid stupid.
Anyways, Flipped the amp on and noticed the orange at the top wasn't coming on after a couple minutes. (Amp was on Standby the entire time, never fully flipped it on). Turned it off to inspect and found the problem.
Was this bad for my amp/tubes? After I sorted it out everything worked fine (minus blowing a preamp tube within a couple minutes). It sounds pretty good and fresh but I had nothing to compare to so I figured I'd check here.
Thanks!
