Too much clean room

Hey guys, I'm definitely a noob when it comes to amps. I have the 90's reissue version of the 63 Brownface Vibromate. I had it taken to a tech in Hamilton, and he added the bias circuit. I bought all new tubes for the amp, and it sounds great, but I can crank it to almost 7 or 8 and it is still pretty clean. Is there anything I can do short of buying different tubes? I remember the tech saying that the matched pair may have been too high of a bias?. But I could be wrong and they were too low.?

Go Traynor, or pedals

Well, I did forget I have 4 channels on the amp, two normal and 2 bright. I forgot to go to the normal side, I lose the reverb and tremolo, but it breaks up a bit earlier and also a lot louder.
I need something with a bit more bite than my Timmy.
Id rather have more bite with the ability to go clean(ish) than not enough bite to begin with. pedals are a PITA..I prefer it right out of the amp
I guess you mean Vibrolux?
Have you tried running both channels together?

How do you run two channels together?

Gotta jumper them. An 8" double right angle cable looks like it'd do it for you.
I'll try it in a few minutes, but I heard with my amp the 2 channels may be out of phase.
Doesn't work. Plugged guitar into left port of channel one, ran a jumper from 2nd port of channel one into the left port of channel two. Only the channel 1 knobs work. If I plug guitar into channel two and jumper to channel one, I can only control with the second channel knobs...
