an Amp at my cabin

[311splawndude]

So I know the answer is basically "No" but thought I'd get some opinions. I took a practice amp and MIM Strat to my cabin last Winter for fun. That's a Peavey Vyvpyr tube 60 combo. I did not leave them there. I'd like to. I can obviously carry the guitar back and forth - don't really want to leave it there permanently mainly due to the humidity. PS: This is a rough hunting cabin, not a Glamping situation at all. Although I do have an electric heater and portable AC for when I am here. And DSL

What do?

It can get from 0 degrees to 120 degrees F. Several times a year there will be a stretch of low 20s. Weeks maybe. Then in the summer it could get up to 120 in here easy if it was all closed up.

Would the amp be OK? I hear moisture is good for speaker cones

Bet the fluctuation and humidity might not be the best thing for it but I'd be more worried about mice.

Pics of the outside surrounding area please...looks like an awesome spot!

I would just leave it and hope for the best. Even if it goes bad you’re saving yourself the hassle and chiropractor bills.

I always wanted one of those tube vipers

Place looks like good juju. Cheap, and hope for the best like acceptance said

@MetalHeadMike - I can PM you some pics
@acceptance - for sure
@RaceU4her - they are fun for what they are. Transtube tech x2. Headphone out is why for me.
@inyarak74 - Thanks. I suppose I could always replace the speaker

Hot and cold won’t bother it but the moisture may be a concern, but not necessarily.
Has it been an issue for any other electrical items there in the past?

Great question @AynirarDan

No. Other electronics here, below, have had no problems in 7 years.

Electric furnace
Portable AC
DSL
Pumps
Microwave
Coffee pot
Fridge


OK....maybe I AM glamping

I will bite the bullet and just stay there to make sure the amp is ok

Just put it in a plastic tote or bag when you're not there. I'd be more worried about critters and moisture than the temps.

What part of the country? Looks so clear and flat out that door, so I know it’s not down here in southern appalachia!

I’d love to soundproof my deer stand so I could jam till something nice walks by, ha ha

You need a TARDIS deer blind.

 

[Ben Waylin]

Wrap it in plastic and jam a box of "Damp Rid" in there with it.

I’d really only be worried about pests and moisture like everyone is saying. Moisture is more a problem in the spring and summer but some pests can be worse in the fall and winter when they’re looking for shelter. A mouse might find an open back combo to be a nice cozy place for a nest.

...took a practice amp and MIM Strat to my cabin...did not leave them there. I'd like to....

Nope. My drummer's locked studio is a sub-room inside his garage, and I don't even leave guitar picks there. Gear always has a tendency to sprout legs and walk away no matter where you leave it.

Brother, what is the purpose? It is hunting cabin, not guitar practice cabin, isn’t it?
