My gut reaction is that it will make no difference, however if your amp is a tube amp and it has a slow start function you might be bypassing this aspect of its circuitry. Dumb question - can you have the face plate removed and take it to a woodworking shop and have them plane off a few mm from the back, the seal it to prevent future moisture entry?
Powering off Equipment-Silly question
Hello
Is there any difference between powering off an amp by pulling the cord out of the wall vs hitting the Off Button?
I ask, because my amp has a wood face plate and due to the cold weather it has swelled to the point where the power button is stuck and will not release.
Will any harm be done by pulling the power cord out of the wall? I would think that both pretty much do the same thing,, ie, cut of AC to the unit.. however given the choice, (which I do not have) it is advisable to use the power switch.
