Since I'm still on the list for an Axe-FX II, I don't know the answer to this question and was wondering if any of you who have one know.

Does the Axe-FX II include the Bias Option for a BK Tube Driver emulation?

Thanks!

curious...how will you be running the tube driver and what how will you set bias (and why?) I don't really know much about this function...(and most of the other functions!)
 
I don't know how I'll set it for the Axe-FX since I'm sure the settings will be different for the emulation than the real thing.

But I owned a real one (back in the mid 80's) that I loved... and unfortunately sold.

It was great for producing a 'singing' type solo tone... some call it 'violin' like.

I'm not sure, but I believe it used a 'starved plate' scheme... in other words, the voltage provided for the tube was extremely low.

You can hear it being used on several YouTube videos:
