How much of a pain is it to bias your amp?

Re: How much of a pain is it to bias your amp?

It's not bad at all. The pain part comes with removing the chassis and putting it back! :laugh2:
 
Re: How much of a pain is it to bias your amp?

it's not difficult if the amp has a bias pot, and the circuit is designed to be biased - in other words, not a fixed bias design, and provided you have a bias tool

however, you should know what you're doing before attempting to bias

I'd suggest looking at some of the tech info available on Aiken amps site

Thanks! I'll check it out. I was looking at a VHT 2502.

Just to clarify, I believe Curly refers to non-adjustable bias (as on Boogies and many Fenders). The term "fixed bias" is also used to differentiate from cathode biased.
