After calculating the bias for my new 5150 III I decided to set on the conservative side. The Weber website bias calculator returns a value of 44mA. The 5150 III will only let me go up to 33mA. So, I set it for 30mA. I remove the Weber biasrite device and put my tubes back in. I turn the amp on, take it off standby, turn up the volume on my guitar and hit a chord...NOTHING. I look over at the amp and see...SMOKE coming from just above the power light. I shut everything off an examined the amp and saw a couple of components that are now BURNT AND BLACK.
CRAP!!!
I guess I'm off to my amp tech to see what the hell happened and get it fixed.
CRAP!!!
