GVB	Re: tube matching I've never really considered matching the AC bias in a guitar amp. Since I've never used AC matched tubes before, I don't know the effect on the signal/sound of the amp. I would suspect that unlesst the tubes are way off, It wouldn't make much difference to my ears. What are the effects? I may consider experimenting with this, but I would like to know how worthwhile it is. It's probably better left to the HI-FI people, but its and interesting point. GVB
