Thanks for the helpful comments below - another question I have is if I
would leave a valve amp on all the time or switch it off and have to wait
for it to warm up every time I need it?


Valves - unlike transistors - have a finite life. And according to some,
modern valves have a shorter life than once was the case.

I'd personally not trust many valve amps to be left on unattended - I've
seen too many go up in smoke. And certainly not a 'budget' valve amp.
