This explains how to use the math after reading the voltage across the small sensing resistor and adjusting the bias pot to change the negative voltage at the grid until you get the voltage that corresponds with the idle current you are trying to set.
Again, the VTL amps are fixed bias with a sense resistor in the cathode circuit so there is a place to measure.
