What would happen when you under Bias your tubes?


Hi, I am a tech noob and I always wanted to ask if it is safe to under biasing tubes and especially the power tubes? Will that affect performance or will that do damage to the amp? I am asking because my power amp which is the Lamm ML 2.1 has manual bias and when I left the bias unchecked for awhile. It somethings jumps much too high then originally set and those 6c33c doesn't last! I mainly set the bias to 70%. Is that OK? Thanks.

Luna, the bias is supposed to be set so that the tube is being used in the middle of its operating range, in a region that is the most nearly linear for input-output tracking. Bias it too low or too high and it becomes increasing non-linear at either end of the operating range, respectively.

The actual value of bias depends on the type of tube. If you can refer to a tube manual, that may tell you the recommended bias. Or you can ask someone here who has a tube manual, listing the tubes you wish to have looked-up.
follow the manufacturer’s direction, try to stay within 10% low or high, 5% even better
The bias voltage is set to have a class A amplifier operating in the linear portion of the range.  The amplification across the frequency range will only be linear over s relatively small portion of the tube's amplification range.  You can easily go out of class A operation and introduce non-linearity to your signal thus providing sound that was not in the original audio source.

Yes ALWAYS under bias. 
= Better tube life, less risk at blowing a  power tube. 
70 is OK

no

not if you want proper sound the amp maker intended
