Page 27: Power Tube Sockets & Tube Type
The power tubes can be biased without taking the chassis out of the wood head shell. You will need a voltmeter or digital multimeter set to the lowest DC voltage range. (Make sure you refer to the meter’s user manual). Revv Owner’s Manual - 27... - Page 28 & return to step 3. If everything checks out, move on to the next steps of setting the bias. If it is still blowing fuses, a tube is at fault. Try a different pair. Revv Owner’s Manual - 28...
