If you need to replace the valve mid-gig mind that that task will take you some considerable time. There are a lot os screws if the way of the valve.

Thing is, a valve could fail any time, just a knock would make it unuseable but they normally fade away with time, a lot of time. If you give proper maintenance to your amp and replace the valve regularly (each two years i would say...) it will never fail on you.

If you are infortunate to see it fail during a gig then the best thing is to have a DI pedal at hand and send the DI to FOH and the line out to the FX return on the shuttle. It will be easier an a lot quicker to solve the problem.

It's a preamp valve. Very unlikely to fail I would have thought, unless it was faulty to begin with?

yep, my thoughts exactly. But we can't rule out a distraction moment where someone drops the amp. I think that mid-gig is very unlikely for it to fail.
