Re: Question on tube types. Wing C SED EL34 to replace stock tubes
I'll take a look at the back next time i use it. Basically when I first put the tubes back and booted it up, I was connected to the tube expander. I turned volume to about noon, played a bit and when I put my head close to the amp I smelled it a bit.
After that I disconnected it from the tube expander and plugged it right into the speaker cab. For this I kept the master vol super low, like 1-2. Played for 10 minutes, no smell.
I didn't bias it. I was told these amps run cold so there's not much risk in damaging it, BUT I am going to get it biased. I just can't right now because my local shop is closed... I'm hoping they can do it next month if not then June... I'll check for red-plating.
For what it's worth they sounded really awesome the few minutes I did try it. I definitely have to figure out the settings on the waza tube expander though, because it sounded way better straight through the cab. I bought the TE so i could push the power tubes.
