the eurotubes pro bias one is handy also as it stops you having to play around with lethal voltages to get the plate voltage.

Anyone who likes to tinker with amps should buy a mA Bias Tool. They're around $20 - $30 on Ebay. Plug it into a volt/ohm meter set on mA, and you can see if your tubes are running cold, normal, or too hot.

Brilliant - thanks a lot.

I'll be in the States from the 10th of Dec onward.
Deff getting one of those !
Probably a new too.

Man, i am excited all over again !

Which ones have you tried, which is your favorite, and why?

I'm talking about distorted tones only.

I found a killer deal on a 6505+ combo, and I was thinking about picking it up and converting it to a head. I've heard that some prefer the original 5150, due to it having more "balls". I mod it some time later to sound like the original 5150 (it's apparently an easy mod), but I'd like to hear some opinions anyway.

What about the 6534? The one with the 6l6's replaced with el34s?
