Thanks.

If you are looking in from the back it is the preamp tube furthest to the left. Haven't tried the Mullards yet let me know how you like it.

I would try it in V2 which is next to the right if it doesn't give you the desired effect in V1. I found it had more effect on my Crunch channel to replace V2.

well, there are 3 in the back... and one right next to the power tubes.


hmm.

I am still not sure which it is.

It's the one farthest from the power tubes. The closest one is the phase inverter.

As Mrid said - the one right next to the power tubes is your phase inverter. Look in to the front of the amp from the back there are 3 tubes. Left to right is V1, V2 & V3.

Hey , wouldn't V1 always be the tube closest to the input jack side of the head? From the back view, the preamp tube closest to the left side?
