I searched for some answers but was not able to find exactly what I was looking for. If there is a thread that answers my questions, please redirect. Thank you.
I have an older Fender Hot Rod Deluxe (Made in USA). I am the third owner of this amp and to my knowledge it has never been through any sort of upgrades / modifications. I have a brand new set of tubes waiting at my house and a bias that needs to be adjusted.
I am capable and comfortable changing tubes. I know how to clean the sockets and install the tubes correctly.
I have never biased an amp before. I've watched the video on EuroTubes (https://www.eurotubes.com/eurotubes-Hotrod-Deluxe-How-To-Bias-Video-6L6-6V6-millivolts-mA.htm). I have a multimeter.
I understand there are risks in working on amplifiers. I'm comfortable with doing little projects, but I am nervous about biasing this amp. For those of you with experience, is this as easy as it looks? What are some tips you can offer so I can avoid catastrophe? I don't have an amp tech nearby where I can go for a quick biasing. I'd much rather do it all on my own. Is this something I should attempt on my own? I'm looking for all opinions and any advice you can give!
Thank you!
