I have a Fender Tonemaster 100W that I am running @ 16 Ohms through the EVM-12L in my Deluxe.
It runs hot enough that it is pretty uncomfortable to touch the standby and power switches.
Do these typically run this hot?
My other question is about longevity and cycling.
My thoughts on long term life of audio equipment is to leave it on if you are using it every or nearly every day.
This has certainly held true for all my studio outboard equipment, consoles, tape machines etc., but I have been wondering as of late on leaving HOT amps running 24/7.
Will they cook themselves silly, or will they be more likely to fail due to cycling induced fatigue.
I appreciate any thoughts on the matter.
