Gentlemen...is it considered safe for the amp and tube to swap out tubes while the amp is On but on Standby?

for preamp tubes, standby should be OK, but never for power tubes. all in all, it's always best to turn the amp off when swapping tubes of any kind.

I think it best to shut the amp down and let the tubes cool to prevent possable damage to them . I don't think pulling a tube on standby would cause an amp any harm but why take a chance ?

standby is safe for pre-tubes
