I do it the old fashion way: play as loud as you can (preferably with earplugs) for about 10 hours.

Terrible....The range of guitar speakers is within a narrow mid-range area(5k or so)..You need the full range to cover all frequencies to sound good with a stereo system...40hz to about 15khz

Hehe I load them up for a week really load, and with obscene amounts of lows.
Play some funkvamps clean for an hour or so, then I switch to solo wank, lots of gain and lowend stuff, also for an hour.
5 days like this seems to work nicely

Now we're talking about breaking in, I have a question. Is there a "break in" time on a new tube amp? Do you have to play it a certain amount of hours before you can get the absolute best out of it?

Some think and some don't.
Personally it is more a question about getting the speakers soften up
