We're made of 99% water and we do just fine with electronics. Pouring water (with electrolytes) on an amp is just like having SRV or Steven Segal play your amp. It's like breaking in new speakers or "burning in" your tubes for maximum mojo. Make sure you use plenty of table salt. Sea salt works too

"My" guitar luthier Said up to 70% (which is still a normal indoor climate) is Fine. I have my room always around 60%.
But i still think the bigger changes are a problem, not a static humidity.

Aluminum and cold weather are rather interesting companions.

Mine too.

While 45-55% is ideal, between 60-70% won't cause serious issues. Lower humidity is ALWAYS worse in my experience. :thumb:

:lol: I just bought some safety salt to put on my front steps. I'll dump the remaining on my amps and then for good measure I'll steal the finest horse in the county and let the horse lick the salt covered amps so the moisture from it's tongue bathes my amps in goodness. :!!!:

Your Ge fuzz should sound pretty tasty at those temperatures though.
