I managed to switch my tubes with this video and set the bias myself. Thanks for being very thorough and giving safety warnings, which I think a lot of videos out here lack. It was actually very easy to do. My amp sounds like new again 👌🏾😄
I wanted to drop by and say "thank you" for this informative and easy-to-follow tutorial. This saved me some time on restoring my amp, and I learned something new. Thanks again! :)
EXCELLENT!!! So glad you did this tutorial. I didn’t want to take my HRD to a tech for such a simple maintenance task. You shed light on the mystery.
Kennis, want to say thank you for sharing your knowledge on this. I just bought a FHD and it was so flat and dead sounding. Bought a set of matched JJ's and with your help got them biased to were I am so happy now! What a difference :)
Thanks for the knowledge, this makes it much clearer for me. I always thought that if I didn't set the bias pot to the "absolutely correct" spot (that could only be derived at through an engineering degree) I would blow the amp up entirely. Thusly, I would until recently only buy solid state amps because I didn't want to get someone else to bias my tubes. Now I am learning to do it myself, and this vid provides a nice piece of the puzzle.
Thank you for this! Your short video was more helpful than anything I’ve read in the forums.
Thank you for the education on biasing the power tubes. I have a Hot Rod Deluxe and I'm replacing all the garbage GT's with JJ's (both preamp and power) but never knew anything how to check the bias. Looks simple enough, thanks for the video and safety tip!
Ahh man THANK YOU!! Have been wanting to switch from SS to tube but this whole bias thing kept me from doing so. Finally got myself a HRD iii and could not believe this is all there was to it!! Thank goodness I have the potentiometer!! Thank you!!!!
really appreciate your effort to make these guides. Very well explained!
Good stuff Kennis. I'm acquiring a USA HRD that most likely needs to have a total tube overhaul, and I'm just glad biasing can be done relative quickly and easily. Having no prior experience because all my other tube amps either have fixed bias (Mesa Boogie ROV25) or are self-biasing (THD Bivalve 30), so this video is super useful!
super helpful and straight forward video! looking forward to getting amongst the tubes in my deluxe and having a go
“I’ve got one hand in my pocket, and the other is biasing.”
Straight to the point and brought across very well, no Guru secrets like I always thought were involved, Thanx Kennis.
Most excellent! I wish all how-to videos were as well done and to-the-point as this.
Great vid. All the information I wanted and none of the filler. Thanks for the info.
I love your videos! Very informative, clear, and concise. Thank You!!
Remember driving thru Mississippi in the 70's. Bias was set high there.
Thanks Kennis. Great job making your tutorial easy to understand.
Thank you for a very instructive video. Changed tubes in my Fender HRDx and set bias to 71....it's like a new amp....
Great video for someone who knew nothing about biasing tubes! Thanks!
