Tube location info: The Balanced ECC81 is located in V6 closest to the power tubes and the standard ECC81 is located in V3. The two 5751's are located in V1 and V2 farthest from 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 5U4GB. These are available in the "Related Products” tab as a set of three and will greatly decrease tube rattle.
