From page 37 of the manual:
Bias "Changes the Bias of the power tubes. Lower values achieve a “cold"
Class AB biasing. At maximum, the amp is operating in Class A."
I believe operating at Class A is pretty much the opposite of raising the bias on a Class AB amp.
The elimination of the crossover in a Class A amp s generally thought to make for a sweeter clean sound.
In the real world a class A Marshall Super Lead is impossible, but we're not in Kansas anymore are we.
