Eden Time Traveler WT 405 Question

I've enjoyed playing through (affordable) solid states that have a warm sound. Like an Acoustic 150.

I came across a great deal (375$) on an Eden Time Traveler WT 405 and picked it up.

I like the amp, but it takes a few minutes to warm up before it reaches the normal volume.

Solid state amps, and this amp in particular shouldn't need to warm up right?

I have a couple more weeks to return it... any thoughts?

Something is likely amiss. None of the ss Edens I have played ever needed more than about 10 seconds to power/warm up. I'd return it for refund.

Definitely not normal. It's agreat head that should not take more than a few seconds to hammer.

WT405 doesn't need a warm up.
There is something wrong
