I am about to try JJ ECC83's in my VH4S. They came in matched pairs. Can anybody tell me which of any
of the 9 preamp tubes V1-V9 should be matched? Thanks!
 
No matching on preamp tubes. Do You really like
the JJ´s ?

Thanks! I'll post what I think after I try them.

Now that I have installed the JJ EC83's, I like them a lot. I would characterize them as a little darker and a little
softer attack than the stock Sovteks. They have about the same gain, maybe a little more but its hard to tell.
I think they tame the VH4S attitude just a little. If you are playing metal this might be a bad thing,
but for someone like me who wanted a stereo tube amp that can cover rock jazz and country too I think I'm going to like it.
