Manual bias setting?

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

I need to manually bias my tube amp even though it came with auto bias option I want make sure that my bias is set correctly manually. I read the manual and it states that the setting should be between .36 to .44 or (360 to 440) the amp is running EL34/KK-77 what is a happy medium setting for optimal performance? Do I set it at .36, .44 or .40? now I have a silly question, can I purchase a cheapo radio shack multimeter to do the job or do I need something that is better, if so, what type? Digital, etc?
Thanks!
