Great vid (and funny - thumbs up), anyone tried it on a Marshall Vintage Modern 100W?

@C0ldFart not sure. I don't recall Hall Amplification having a VVR kit for higher than 50watt amps

Hi, thanks for the great video, Question: what if the amp does not have a stand by switch like AC4 TV? Can you run direct from the power on/off switch, or will this cause damage ?

What is the advantage of a VVR over a Hot Plate or Power Soak? For collectible amps a VVR being installed would obviously drop the value of the amp. Has anyone tried the VVR in comparison to any kind of attenuator?

Soo, if I study the circuit and upgrade the components it would be possible I think.
