  • Does it matter if the power switch on the back is set on low watts or higher 16?

  • @Frontierblues

    Yes, set it to 16 watt position.

  • is this the same procedure for a vintage 50? I looked up on Carvin website and their procedure is much shorter and had me trying (unsuccessfully) to read mA across the standby witch while in standby. It says it should be 75mA but I get ZERO when I follow their procedure.

  • @rkc5150

    Well, not exactly, but similar I suppose. With the VT50 you do measure the bias current across the standby switch. Maybe I should do a video for that, but I believe Eurotubes may have one on their website, check it out.
