how to identify bias resistors? i'm working on my sunn buzz and want to try tweaking the bias but i'm not sure which resistors control bias. i've had a few posts about this build on here. i started this one just to get more specific. i'm still trying to learn whats what and i figured since i've got me head wrapped around this one i might be able to understand what i'm being told. anyway my guesses are the two 10k's bias Q2and Q3? but i'm not sure about Q1?

Take a look at this thread, it's a must read in my opinion

Look at the schem there

R1 and R2 - These components together establish the bias point for the base of transistor Q1. They form a voltage divider which sets the bias voltage, and an equivalent series resistance which limits the base bias current, as well as forming a part of the input impedance.

- Impedance
- Transistor Bias

QSQCaito thank you very much for that link. i had not seen that one before. it's just what i needed. so let me see if i learned anything, the 220k sets the bias for  Q1 and the voltage dividers in front of Q2 and Q3 set there bias respectively?

Most probably, i'm sorry my knowledge can't tell you accurately if you're right or not. Let the ones who know judge ;)
