Hey all, been playing guitar for about 10 years, I'm 25 and the 2466 will be my 1st tube amp. Stoked! BUT just want to make sure I set it up right and don't screw it up. I am buying new from Guitar Center. Here are the questions I have:
-Do they bias these before they send them out?
-Is there anything I should do or check right off the bat to make sure the amp is set up properly? Check tubes or anything?
-Can someone please explain/dumb down how the different ohm settings and mono vs. stereo affects anything? I can play like a mother******* but am not technically savvy, at all. If you don't want to take time to explain here, is there somewhere else I can look for basic info? Like how do I choose mono vs. stereo? Which ohm setting should I set my amp/cabinet to and why?
-I should always turn the amp on AND off in stand-by mode correct? How long should I let it warm up for before playing and how long to cool down before I shut off?
I know these probably sound like dumb questions...Just don't have much experience with tube amps and would rather ask here than be "that guy" at guitar center.
Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
