The Balanced ECC83S is located closest to the power tubes in V2 and the ECC803S is located in V1.Combo amps are very hard on tubes because of vibrations which can cause tube rattle with any brand of tube. If your amp is the combo version and you play by yourself in a quiet environment or record with your amp you may want to consider using the EuroDamper tube damper rings for the power tubes. These are available in the "Related Products” tab as a set of two. These will greatly decrease tube rattle.
