In real life is bias excursion time in a rectifier amp affected by sag or B+ Time or variac?
rectifiers are all default modeled on silicon power (sag 2.00), i would assume other measurements taken for defaults would have been made in silicon power mode as well, such as bias excursion time
reason one would ask is when you bring sag from 2.00 to 7.00 (~ tube rectification speed), you can hear the low end bass response slow down, but the breakup (bias excursion) stays the same speed, it's quick and snappy even though the low end is loose, feels weird. if you go to increase bias excursion time from its default of 2.70 up towards 12.9, you can hear the breakup slow down separately from the low end response, so then the low end and the bias excursion are lined up together....that's a characteristic i'm used to hearing connected to the bold/spongy switch or changing from silicon to tube rectification on a rectifier.
bias excursion time is what i've been looking for to make the rectifier breakup less stiff under the pick, in that it takes longer to breakup....sag (power speed) and variac (power amount) and grid bias (bias excursion start point) weren't doing it because they tug on each other but they don't tug on bias excursion time. probably a good thing so you can adjust it yourself and experiment. if bias excursion time ever got connected to the other power section stuff so it slows down when you change variac or sag settings this user would not be mad, that way bias excursion time would slow down when sag or variac get slowed down
