Yo d00ds,

I was wondering what you guys think of the Bias King. http://biasking.com/

I'm looking for a real easy way to bias my amp, but at the same time i want to be really accurate in determining where to place my bias and having it sound like it's fresh outta George's Shop. If you think these are absolutely god damn horrible please tell me. Maybe you d00ds have a better recommendation on what i should get for my best value. The thing is that i really don't wanna be using old-school oscilloscopes to do it. Nice and easy, but at the same time accurate.

Opinions??

I haven't used them personally, but they look to be good quality.
There isn't anything to technical about these probe type devices so as long as it's well made, it should serve you well.

What price are getting? I can get the Bias King or the Allesandro bias meter.

Well i don't know exactly yet if i'll be getting it yet, but it's cool that my friendly neighborhood amp guru can get it for me. I'm just interested because i'd like to start doing things myself. Thank god i did the SoZo update without any help. Ha ha! The only help i got was from some hemostats!

I use a Groove Tubes Bias kit, which is great if you already own a DVM, since it just plugs into any DVM. It works really well, too.

Weber VST bias rite works better

I owned the bias king and now the Bias Rite from Weber VST. The Bias Rite is easier to use because all you have to do is flip the switch on the meter attached and it gives you the voltage,then swutch it back and you have the ma draw. Check it out at Webervst.com
