Hot and Cold

Looked around on the forum but couldn't find anything specific about this.

I've found a place where I can practice with my amp at high volume any time of the day or night, however there is one thing that I'd like to ask if it is a catch or not. The small space where I can store it will be a normal room temperature, however, the room I'm actually playing in can be down to 12-14 degrees - fahrenheit... no, of course Celsius - at times. I know constant shift in temperature is bad for some electronic devices, so how about a tube amp?

12-14 Celsius is about 53-58 degrees Fahrenheit(What I deal with because I'm in the U.S.) and while it might be cold enough to make you want to put on a jacket. It shouldn't be severe enough to cause problems with your amp.

On the otherhand. If you were to say, leave your amp in the trailer overnight in the 0(32f) or less degree weather and then bring it into a nice warm room and fire it up right away, that might be a big enough sway in temperature to mess up your tubes. Going from way freezing cold to red hot in a matter of seconds. Glass can crack.

Just make sure moisture can't get in...you should be fine.
