A friend told me that SRV used to turn on his amp and crank it up to 10 before he played for this reason: to get it nice and warmed up. Anyone else have anecdotes or technical explanation of why this is so?
No ;but it is ture, IMO maybe something to do with electron flow , the warmer things get the faster they flow . Just my thoughts never payed much attention to why. If I took the time to study the Physics I would not have time to play guitar
