This Crate had a very unique autobias circuit that would automatically switch between 6L6s and El34s with no adjustments just change the tubes ! Way back in 1997 definitely a different design for back then kind of interesting.

What's your guys feelings about flyback diodes ? I read they change the tone abit? Good for output transformer protection though?

I have actually thought a time or two of adapting silent switching just like some of the Boogies

490 volt plates and seems to be -45 for negative bias
