What is the standby switch for on a tube amp?

Right next to the on/off switch on many tube amps is a second switch labeled “standby”. It's that switch that silences your guitar amp without actually turning it off, which comes in handy when break time rolls around at rehearsal or at a gig.

Is it bad to leave a tube amp on standby?

Don't leave your tube amp on standby for too long, it can cause damage!

How do you turn off a tube amp?

To turn it off, just turn them both off, it doesn't matter. the standby mode only heats up the tubes without putting a signal through them, so why would you need to do it and leave a gap between flicking the two switches when you're turning the amp off? A good question!
