Standby or power down?

[cellardweller]

To change to speaker load, should I power down, or can I just go to standby?

If I wanted to change from 2/2x12 cabs, to 1/2x12 cab?

Will only going to "standby" potentially damage to amp from the sudden change in loading?

Definitely power down completely!

agreed. besides, it doesn't cost you too much to be careful

/agree power down completely..Only a few minutes difference and could save a ton in the end.

Yes, absolutely power down. Standby puts your tubes on heaters but otherwise your amp is up and running and should have a load on it. Your transformer will thank you.
