Conversational question?

Are modern mass produced amps to complex to modify such as Bias points on the back of say a Blackstar HT 40 or any all tube amp produced in mass? just curious I like being able to Bias without opening up an amp.

A good tech should be able to do that, alot of modern amps already have them.

It really depends on the amp. The HT series is made to not rebias, so adding external bias points on that amp wouldn't be too useful.

Adding bias controls is a double edge sword. For those who know what they are doing they are great, for those who don't they end up damaging the amp. By putting the bias inside the amp, this keeps most not all, of the (don't know what they are doing) from damaging the amp. Helps with warranty and returns.
