STANDBY SWITCH - Clarification

[mixsit]

wow what a thread lol....

with my JCM2000, when i turn it on, i turn on POWER first...let it warm up, then hit standby so that the sound comes out of it. then when i turn it off, i flick standby with power still on, let it cool a bit, then flick power off. my friend did this since he got it in '03, and i've done it ever since i bought it from him in '08....hmmm

See there, hit, and 'flick. How simple was that to avoid all that confusing 'on=off/on in/out 'standy' mode?
Done.

Since some of you seem to be baffled by a simple 2 position switch maybe you should hook your amps up to a "clapper". Using it in a live situation should not pose any problems as applause will most likely be nonexistent.

I've only had Fenders back when and it was pure auto muscle memory- Reach around back, index finger flips standby down, amp goes quiet/wait mode then power off with the second finger, reverse, second finger first for power up.
Now with the LoneStar I'm still hittin' the wrong damn one on break!

...Turn SS on, leave PS off- amp in standby mode, all tubes (pre and power) show faint red glow.
Turn PS on- amp powered up fully and ready to play..

Is this for real though? They've had to have completly flipped the meanings.
