SpeedRacer	Re: waddaya think about biasing.......... Dale - the OT in your Jubilee is that same as the regular 800 AFAIK. I don't believe that Marshall used different models for different amps of the same output power. As far as biasing though, the whole point of my post was to suggest using your ears and your guitar to set the bias - within the limits of the tubes' dissipation ratings. 35mA sounds great in my amp, Trace's amp sounds great at 30mA and I've heard amps with idle sttings from 20mA to 45mA which all made their users happy. There is no one right answer! You have a range to work with, but ultimately it's up to YOU to see what works the best for YOU. Just plug in and tweak.
