If that is heresy or stupid, just say.
It would be ideal if we could come up with a simple HT delay circuit when using silicon diode rectifiers. Using time delay and relays seems a bit archaic.

As Sam has said, modern Fender and Marshall amps have those diodes there already, BUT without the resistor in series. That was what I was talking about in my previous post. It does make the amps more reliable, I guess because the GZ34 doesn't really do anything except keep the amp cabinet warm.
