Its hot hot as hell and smell it too but it's always smelt hot and you can't touch the rear panel after use, the speaker cable is super hot too. I changed a speaker out last week, that wouldn't have done anything ? It's 8ohm - arrrrgggh

You are not going to like this, but if it was me I wouldn't trust it for the gig - it could fail in a major way at the worst possible time. I'd get it looked at immediately if you can find anyone who will do it today or tomorrow, or failing that if you can't, you absolutely must take a backup amp which you should have on stage, plugged in and ready to go. Personally I'd just use a different amp from the start, but I understand you may not want to...

I would get out looked at and find something else to use for your upcoming shows.

The way you described the initial symptoms is what I've had before with a hot cathode bias and valves that couldn't handle the current
2 songs into our set, one of them re appeared on stage with a couple of mikes - they'd forgotten to put two rack tom mics in and somehow missed it until that point.........
