  • Tube Amp Question

    After looking at all those awesome pics in the "Current Rigs" thread it brought to mind a question I've had for a while now. Will storing another head on top of my tube head harm it any way? ie. by blocking the vents off? I have a spare head, I wanna show off but I'm not sure if it will do damage to my main head. And the spare is smaller dimensionally so it looks like ass below.

    I have my Laney AOR 50 on top of my DSL100. I play the DSL100 maybe a couple to 5 hours a week, so no issues. But if you play the lower head a lot, the heat could cause issues. In general, heat is the enemy of electronics.

      just make sure that the head you are playing is well ventilated (i.e. on top) and you'll be just fine.

        If the bottom amp has vents on top then install some spacer blocks to give it room to breathe while its operating. It will also keep from cooking the bottom of the amp thats above the vents and separating the glue from the tolex.
