you want to bias the drain to roughly half the supply voltage. if supply is 9v bias drain to 4.5v, 12v-6v, 18v-9v etc. once that`s done I usually fine tune by ear.
If it wasn't for this website I would definitely have a life.
Thanks for the reply ill be using a 18 volt adapter to get my supply ny ways this is gonna be my preamp section of a practice amp. So 18v is already there..
