Weber BiasRite users, how the heck does this thing work?

Re: Weber BiasRite users, how the heck does this thing work?

His question still holds though, *can* you bias it to the right spot (34?) or do you have the bias pot maxed out in that direction?

If so, you might require a new resistor in that bias circuit.

Email Bogner if your'e in this situation.

Unfortunately, I can only bias it to 27mA when the pot is maxed out. Looks like I'll be shooting Bogner an e-mail. Thanks for your help Scott!

I've asked Bogner before, and they say 35mA, although I think mine is around 36-37.

Alright, good update! I called up Bogner and got the rundown on where the bias resistor is and all I have to do is put in a slightly lower value (it's resistor R53 and I need to take out the 68k and put in a 50k).

I also learned something valuable today, always bias while playing your amp because it changes the readings a lot. Playing, looking at the bias meter, with the pot fully cranked, I got up to 36ma playing heavy chords (27ma when I just took it off standby, no playing), so maxed out, it's just about perfect.

Reinhold was a great guy, very down to earth and extremely helpful. Big props to that guy for explaining it all to me

The sound is so much better now that it's biased a lot hotter. The overdrive is more aggressive and has more harmonics, the cleans are warmer and fatter and since I have new tubes, the bass stays together. Overall, I'm really happy with the end result
