Load Line Assistance Needed
#1
Greetings!

This is my first post on this forum. Fitting for a tube noob, lol! 

For my first question/problem, I need to be pointed to clear and concise info on how to plot a loadline for a tube. In particular, I have 12AX7, 12AU7, 12AZ7, 6K6, and 6V6 tubes around some of which I plan on building a guitar amp. I've been to several websites and done Google searches, but haven't found anything that truly cleared up the mud with regards to plotting load lines. My first BIG question is plate voltage. Do you use the unloaded B+, or measure it under a DC tube load?

Thanks in advance for any helpful replies!
