also doubles as a headphone jack. This Phones/Line
Out jack can be used with any stereo headphone. The
signal sent form these outputs are post-preamp and pre-
master. Note that the output signal is affected by all tone
controls, including reverb, but not the Master Volume. For
practicing silently, don't forget to disengage the speaker
outputs by depressing the Speaker Defeat button.
Replacement Tube Selection & Bias
This amplifier features Yorkville's auto-balancing / auto-matching tube biasing technology. As a
result, when the time comes to replace the tubes in your Yorkville amplifier, there is no need to pay a
premium for a matched set – nor does the bias need to be adjusted when you use a different brand.
We make no claims as to which brands of tubes might sound best, but with auto-balancing / auto-
matching, you are free to experiment without any need for concern that the amplifier or tubes will
be distressed. Please note that auto-balancing / auto matching cannot fully compensate for different
types of tubes - 6L6/5881s versus 6CA7/EL34s, for example.
Please note that although auto-balancing / auto matching allows you the freedom to select unmatched tubes from a variety
of manufacturers, it may not be able to fully compensate for the use of a non-equivalent model or part number of tube
– 6L6/5881s versus 6CA7/EL34s, for example. Use of non-equivalent tubes may result in unpredictable performance.
