I'll stay away from behringer's eq pedal as per your advise. Thanks. Hopefully I will be able to find a tone suitable to my liking. Not that I dont appreciate the AD's features/tones. I guess Im still soul searching/experimenting for a 'special' tone for myself |

My ad30vt is still running fine. I do not plan to change the tube at the moment. btw, what is biasing? I thought that changing the tube would be as easy as taking out the old tube and putting on a new one? Just like changing a light /lamp bulp?

clicky
Heres an article about how to bias and basically what biasing affects in the amp. Truth be told, I'm not sure whether this is relevant or not since our amp is using a preamp tube in the power amp section. Assuming it works like how it should, this should play a role. Anyway, I'm not very well versed in tube and how amps work, there are people who are better versed than me, so google for more info. Final note, threadstarted is having finals now. Cut him some slack for the time being. =D Hope it helps dooooood XD |
