[QUOTE="suphuckers, post: 145221, member: 3474"] Actually, [b](I'm not telling you to do this because if you screw up your amp I'm not responsible but...)[/b] I'm pretty sure you technically could bias your tubes without speakers hooked up. You're supposed to do it with the Volume turned all the way down. As long as you're not trying to send a signal to a speaker it wont damage your amp. Even if you did send a signal out, I'm pretty sure nothing is gonna blow up. Someone like Rob should hopefully chime in here, but [i]I think[/i] the transformer will be damaged if you repeatedly send a signal out with no load. I don't think 1 time or even 5 times will do it. [i]Unless you have it maxed volume and are hammering on the Low E for several minutes[/i]. I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure I'm right about this. [/QUOTE]
