I have a b52 at 100 that sounds really sweet when i run the master volume on 10. Using the channel volumes to control overall volume. ? is what harm will this cause the amp if run this way all the time. What will it do to the power tubes long run ? What will it do to the tranformer. Use it about 6 hours on weekends for practice/ gigs. thanx
 
Re: running amp on 10?

I don't think any real harm will come to the amp, other than perhaps shortening the life of the power tubes. Tubes wear out however, that's part of the game. There are plenty of amps that have been run on 10 for years and years and years. If you enjoy the tone, go ahead. I don't think the time you are using the amp is excesiive.
