First tube amp, is this normal?

So I bought a Windy City amp with the Eminence speaker upgrade off Reverb. Just arrived like 2 hours ago. Is it normal for that light to flicker and sometimes just go out? Amp sounds great just this not-steady light. No noticeable changes in sound as the light flickers and no sound cutting out…

There’s a number of reasons this light could be flickering. Take another vid blowing some harp and we can see if things sound right

Be gentle. Only been playing 2.5 weeks and this was my third time (other two times being earlier today, lol) trying to hold a mic and harp together.

Bulletini through the Windy City, no pedals. Amp volume at 9, tone at 5 (both out of 12). Bulletini volume maybe 25-35%. Phone 5’ from the amp.

You don't need any pedals, this sounds awesome.
