Tube location info: The 12AY7 is located in V1 and the ECC83S is located in V2 closest to the power tubes.Combo amps are very hard on tubes because of vibrations which can cause tube rattle with any brand of tube. If 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 two 6V6S’s and the 5Y3. These are available in the "Related Products” tab as a set of three and will greatly decrease tube rattle.
