Tube Amp out of Bias-what does it sound like?


Just wondering, If you have a tube amp which is not biased properly, what effects on the sound quality would it have?

I have some amps which doing a bias adjustment is rather difficult, the amps work and are operational and may be close to correct bias, but wonder what the difference would be if all was 100% perfect.

In a nutshell, if they are biased too low the sound will be groggy and not very involving, too high will sound better but you will put additional wear on your tubes.
