[QUOTE="Mister Joshua, post: 76045, member: 2281"] Yeah "RED PLATING" is a very dangerous affair. If you see a tube glow red then you have about 30 seconds until the damage begins. If you see black spots on the glass then you lost the tube and maybe the amp. And yes a PI can cause red plating. As far as damaging your amp, Randall swears that the fuse blowing should prevent damage to the amp. You may also want to check the bias resistors on the amp that did blew the tube. If one of those are blown it can overcook a tube too. Peace, Joshua [/QUOTE]
