You don’t need to change the tube that often. Maybe every 2 years. You should notice when it needs replacing.

I find it confusing when people with tibe amps, like something will go wrong, and insstead of trying to figure out whjats wrong with it exactly they take it straight to a tech and just let them figure it out and fix it and thats it. Its weird how personal I get with my equipment, when something is up, i try to figure out the problem, and when fixed I make sure to watch or to learn what caused it and how it becpomes fixed. I have always like working on my own stuff.

The VT30 is not a full tube amp! It has this Valvreactor thing,and there is just one tube inside.

Hey Dave you forgot to mention that alot of tube amps need some warm-up time before they sound their best!
And that valvestate amps might be a good alternative for people not wanting the commitment/maintenance of a tube amp

nope power filters “RF” filters block radio line noise, but do nothing for power problems
lowbottomranch says:

nope, surge protectors only work to block power surges like when lightening hits somewhere near, smaller flucuations in power will not be picked up and blocked by it

The best solution is the get a high end power bar or one of those power conditioners, they work very well, and they will get you an exact amount of voltage to the amp. A must for touring musicians. Monster makes a really good one.
