Is it possible to make a video of any version of the Whammy pedal that does not include a fucking horrible attempt at either a Radiohead or Rage Against The Machine solo?
I postulate that it is not.

it's a solid state amp, but i'm not sure - could that harm the amp as well?

how long of amp idle .. before you switch to stand-by?
i notice when i roll the volume knob off my guitar.
then strum for a sec.
then switch to stand-by - there's no pop.
if i don't do the strum part. the amp/tubes make that pop noise going into stand-by static?
Strumming will drain the caps, and popping occurs when there is a build up of charge on one side of the switch, so that makes total sense. The pop is only bad if it is loud enough to do bad things to your speakers, otherwise AFAIK it won't harm your amp as it's just a quick discharge of the capacitors.
You should use your standby switch while you are waiting for your tubes to warm up so the cathode doesn't get punched in the face by heaps of voltage. About 30 seconds is enough. But AFAIK once your tubes are warm it doesn't serve to protect your tubes at all - they are in no need of protection as they are already warm - you can safely just turn it off with the mains power switch.

thinking about picking up another bass amp, im still not stoked with my peavey combo300
theres a bass mark iii at a pawn shop near me for 189 kanga coins.
im thinking of getting that and a cheap 2x15 and selling my current one
any advice? will it be much better/different? the righthand shelving knob on the mark is broken off, i only glanced at the it though, didnt get a chance to play, it might be fucked
