Fuct is an unknown quantity at this point
So after deciding to go tube, I just need to find out two things

Changing tubes and biasing. I'm still not sure about biasing and what it does completely. My electronics teacher tried to tell me, but he told me in the most technical way that I don't think he even understood himself. All I know is after changing tubes, is it's a good idea to bias the amp because the bias set before hand could slip or something. Maybe a better explanation for this is at hand?

And this output wattage that you can change. I heard if you take out two out of 4 of the power tubes in the right order, for example, it takes the wattage down to half? That's a major concern being that I've been looking at some amps with 100 watts of tube that I know I won't be using, but they have the sound I've been in search for.

So any help on those would be GREATLY appreciated.
