Dude I learned to bias my own amps while you were learning your ABC's from Big Bird.
Unless you're well into your 60's, I think you have it bass ackwards. Even when I was in High School, one of the issued text books was an RCA Receiving Tube Manual. My college years and CET Certification took me all the way to 1979. Still mostly tubes on those tests, too. I didn't write any of this down, but I believe I was building my own tube amps, and a few for other local players, about 1987 or 1988 at the latest. I was already into my 30's for certain.
But that's nowhere near the point. The point was even though it seems easy, I can still take my own gear in to get repaired somewhere else, and chat with techs, shop in the store, see who I know shopping, etc. I know I'm lazy, but at my age I'm allowed. And it's never expensive, or I
would do it myself. And the other point was Sovtek tubes have an awful QC. They're all I can buy in my teeny weeny little town, so I learned how to make do. If you aren't experienced enough to do all that I do with Sovtek tubes, pay someone to do it for you. It's cheap, and you have a relationship with your tech.
But this is all moot, as the original poster is not using Sovtek tubes. And soundchaser 59; even though the red knob Twin has it all layed out for you on the back of the chassis, this is absolutely asking for trouble if you use Sovtek tubes. But NOS GE's should be fine. If you have to ask what's so bad about Sovtek and biasing by a common 1-ohm resistor................
