v1 v2 v3 v4 v5?

[Stonge]

what are the different valve spots and what order do they go on the markII series amps? Because I have some pretty sweet tubes and I was wondering what the good spot to put them in. I have tried many different combos of tubes and think I have found a good line up, but think it is time for a change.

Slap your best tubes in V1 and V2 ....... I think R3 has to do with your lead channel maybe? :?: V4 is usually your reverb and V5 is your output driver .... use a balanced to0b there.

I am going off my MkIII experience, so probably should double check your owners manual for sure. :?
