Deluxe Reverb-Quick Quesitons

[Thom]

If memory serves, there's no standby switch on a DR

Gawd, what an idiot. Sorry.

Lol I thought that too initially, the Princeton has no standby

Standby at first sounded like huge bullshit to me.

I still dont know if i should keep at it, since i read that guide
Will posted and it seems pretty legit...

neither switch really fucking matters when some other asshole is playing your amp while you're on the drums. when you're done, it always goes like this:

douche - "wow, that was awesome!"
me - "i know, why didn't we record it?"
douche - "good point." both switches off at once
me - "awwwww dude, srsly? standby first, asshat!"
douche - "oh sorry man, i do it like that on my fender 212FM all the time."
me - "GTFO."

Switching both off at once is completely fine.

Ok, so switch both power and standby switches to off.
To turn the amp on, turn the power switch on and let warm up for a minute or two, then switch the standby switch on.
When turning off, I usually do the reverse and switch to standby then power down, but there's actually nothing wrong with flipping both switches off.

When I got my '74 Deluxe Reverb serviced, I was told to turn it on as you've mentioned, but when turning it off hit the power switch first then the standby. This is because the speaker 'pops' if you do it the other way round. Not a problem at low volumes, but could damage it if cranked.
