I was trying my amp out with EL34's the other day, so I had the amps bias switch set over to "el-34," and of course when I put my 6L6's back in I forgot to change the bias back to 6L6.Now, leaving the bias set for el34s made my amp sound a lot better, more dynamic and punchy. My question is- how long could my tubes withstand that kind of inaccurate voltage. Is it something I should worry about?
I remember reading somewhere that mesa's are biased a little cold and flipping the amp over to the EL34 mode while 6L6's are in there, warms it up a bit.
About how much voltage is being delivered to each tube and is it safe to run the amp in that mode?
I should also mention I'm running it at 50 watts, only two power tubes.
