I've been advised to buy a pair of these clips to adjust the bias on an amp but I've never seen them before, what are they called and where can you get them?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211125/a95d7093f61a9e81f1f9042afa10ce34.jpg

Actually think I may have answered my own question I've just bought a pair of these.

Yes thanks bit worried about doing the bias myself having never done it before but I'd rather not take the risk (and cost!) of posting to a tech to do. I've got the instructions.

Get yourself some proper rubber electrical gloves to use, I've only recently got into refurbishing valve amps and the gloves gave me the confidence to work on live equipment.

Just looked on eBay they're all £20+ and look like kitchen gloves!

Thanks. I actually got the bias sorted this afternoon, looking forward to trying them next week sometime.

I may need these gloves to move some pots in my DHT pre amp (I've been told they're humbuckers), they are just floating inside held by the wires and I reckon they're might be some high voltages in there...
