Hello,
I am new to this forum and this is my first post after reading lots of threads about preamp tubes for the BE 100.
I have the 2016 model of the BE 100 with the newly added gain structure switch.
My amp came with these stock tubes:
4 x TAD EL34B-STR Power Tubes
2 x ARS branded JJ/Tesla 12ax7 preamp tubes in V1 and V2
2 x ARS branded Chinese 12ax7a/7025 preamp tubes in V3 and V4
I want to try different tubes especially in V1 and V2.
From reading some threads about preamp tubes in the BE 100 I was getting confused about the order and the function of the tubes ( V1 for BE, V2 for HBE and clean channel?)
My understanding in the past was that the preamp tube farthest away from the power tubes is V1 ( the first tube from left to right when standing behind the amp)
but I read in a thread that V1 is the second tube from left to right... .
I would like to have an official statement on this: Please name the preamp tubes from left to right : is it V1,V2,V3,V4 or is it V2,V1,V3,V4 ?
And in which channel does which tube-position work?
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I need to know this ;-)
Thank You very much in advance !
