anonymous	Re: D.I.Y. Amp Help Needed Arron, I'm not trying to insult you, but do you have your meter set to DC milliamps while trying to check your bias? If you are trying to measure the bias with a DC voltage setting instead of DC MA.....you will blow the fuse on the meter and on your amp. Are you measuring from the center tap of your OT to the plate(pin 3) of your 6L6-GC? This is the correct way to measure bias current. Good luck. Benjamin

Arron,

I'm not trying to insult you, but do you have your meter set to DC milliamps while trying to check your bias? If you are trying to measure the bias with a DC voltage setting instead of DC MA.....you will blow the fuse on the meter and on your amp.

Good luck.
