Sorry if this is a dumb question, but please humor me.
Say you are in whatever of the two power modes (Full or Variac), the tubes are warmed up for the min 30 seconds, but you change your mind and want to switch to the other power mode. Do you have to switch the power off, put it back on standby, and then power it up in the other mode and wait another 30 seconds
....or.....
Can you just flip the switch to the other power mode quickly and skip past the "off" portion?
The manual doesn't say you can't do this, but my guy instinct tells me it wouldn't be good for the amp if done repeatedly and may cause the power switch (or more) to need replacement over time.
