    A 2W MF cathode resistor will not survive a valve short.
    I've just replaced a 10W wirewound cathode resistor that experienced such a failure.

    Wot no HT fuse?

    Silly sods. I don't know why they do this or how they get away with no secondary fusing at all these days - which I believe they're supposed to fit under the current CE regs, although I may be wrong… most other manufacturers actually overdo it.

    I fitted my Trem-o-verb with an HT fuse, and often do for customers as well.

    Thanks @ESchap, just ordered a 2w 56k cc from there! (2w to make my amp musician proof, in the unlikely event my amp is actually played by one) :P
    WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME 2W CARBON COMP RESISTORS ARE THE SIZE OF THE MOON  :-O
