Hey

Got the 1st gig with our new drummer next week so may be a bit paranoid but I've noticed the 1st power tube on the left looking from the back is glowing a bit brighter than the other 3. It's still orange and looks ok but is noticeably brighter. Is the norm ?
 
Unless something is glowing red hot, I would not pay too much attention to the brightness of the tube in relation to the others. If everything sounds ok, then everything is fine. A little difference is totally normal.

Hmm...I wouldn't go that far. :D

If your tube is on the way out, you'll also notice that sometimes it may even barely be lit up compared to the other tubes. I think it's always good to take a peep behind your amp once in awhile to stay ahead of the game.
