4.
Turn the amp's global MASTER volume all the way down (off).
5.
Ensure a proper load is connected to the Speaker Output and the impedance selector matches the load.
6.
Turn on the amp via the Power On.
7.
After a 60 second warm-up, flip the Standby (STBY) switch to ON.
8.
Check the mV reading on the DMM.
9.
For a 6L6GC loaded amp it should be between approximately 30 mAV, which is equivalent to 30 mA per tube. Amps
are setup at the factory at 30 mA per tube, however it is safe to run up to 40 mA per tube.
10. While watching the DMM, adjust the bias setting with the Bias control on the top right side of the chassis.
Counterclockwise rotation lowers the bias, whereas clockwise rotation increases it.
11. Take note of the Left Pair reading, then plug the red DMM probe into the Right Pair – Red Bias Test Point. Compare the
Right Pair reading with the Left Pair – they should be within ~5 mA of each other.
NOTE: If you see strange numbers, here are some possible reasons:
1.
If one side reads 0 mA and the other looks good – then likely both tubes on one side are out.
2.
If one side reads about half of the other side, then just one tube is out.
3.
If the two readings are close, just not within ~5 mA, then the tubes are not properly matched and should be replaced.
One can also swap one tube from each side in order to try and balance the readings more.
