Re: waddaya think about biasing.......... quote: "ok, then how about the tranny in the silver jubilee 50 watter? do you know if it's similar or the same as a regular 800,"     As I recall I think it's a different tranny but it pretty much looks the same as the 800's. Speed might know answer for sure.     quote: "...and with this tranny and EL34LS at 457 volts, what would you consider a low bias setting that won't compromise the tone while being lower than the max so that the tubes will last a bit better?"     I think 30-32ma is a pretty place to be in my opinion. You can also change the bias splitter resistors to 100K's, as I recall there are 220K's in there now. The 100K's will make your power tubes last longer as well.     As a side note on these amps: If you decide to ever run these amps as part of a multiple amp set up you will find that the Jubilee is out of phase with pretty much all other amps (Fender's Vox's, Boogies, etc.)     Hope it helps!   Trace
