I've schlepped tube guitar amps all over the place since the 60s…watched a luggage dude drop an Anvil cased Twin Reverb (with JBLs so it weighed about a ton…it was the 70s dammit) on the runway and it survived fine…amps in car crashes (more than once), knocked over in bar fights…it's not easy being a guitar amp...I also think you're more likely to damage tubes by trying to remove them, so unless your car has no suspension I bet you can make it across town.
remove tubes before moving cross town?
if it were under your total control, still think you need to remove tubes from the gear? (in this case, ARC Ref 150 and 5se. and the modwright CDP)
thanks
