johan	Re: Class A to AB ? thanks no i am not to woried about any powerincrease either... ..the plate voltage is 330volt, cathodevoltage 19volts and cathode resistor is 200ohms bypassed by a 50uF cap what i am woried about is if there is something I've missed..is there for example anything fundamentaly diffrent between O.T's designed for the different classes?...airgaps, offsets and such...is there any risk of ruining the O.T if i rebias the amp into AB? I am siting on a lifetime supply of unmatched 6v6's of all makes and origins, and it would simply be easier if I didnt need a scope, tonegenerator and DVM when I change tubes....I know..I'm lazy...but I rather play my guitar than worry about the amp...
