doesn't matter. you don't have to bias your preamp.

You talking Peavey?
Them peavey classics seem like they are built better than bomb shelters

it ended up not being the tube, after poking around i found that the jack that the speakers plug into had a horrible looking solder job, so i fixed it as required

Just thought I'd mention I'm personally a fan of Rubies

try groove tubes, very nice and not that expensive, or maybe MESA tubes, hard to find but very nice.
BTW if ou are getting a pair make sure they are matched, and of buying on ebay be careful, there is tons of cheap copies around, only buy from sellers specialized in selling tubes
