I just bought a prescription ES off ebay and was looking forward to hearing what the ef86 is capable of, only to realize I had three 12ax7's! Did early models have the 12ax7 in the v2?

I believe yours is an original Prescription and not the ES.
Prescription NOTE: as of Fall 2004, this amp is no longer in production. It has been replaced by the Prescription Extra Strength.
The Prescription is one of the Doctor's first amps, and its reputation will allow it to be one of the most popular Dr.Z amps for years to come. Players across the country have sung its praises, critics have gushed, and the word has spread. The Prescription is a British-voiced amplifier with its own distinct personality.
The tone of this amp screams rock and roll when cranked, but when clean, its bell-like tone and piano-like clarity on the low notes gives excellent articulation on complex chords. The Prescription is complex and rich in harmonics, and gives incredible touch sensitivity and string-to-finger feel. So whether you're looking for clean and pretty, or crunch of doom for some rippin' blues slide, the 'Script may be the amp for you.
Specifications Power Output: 45 Watts Output Tubes: 4 - EL84 Preamp Tubes: 3 - 12AX7 Rectifier: 1 - GZ34 Controls: Volume, Treble, Mid, Bass, 3 way bright switch, expand switch, and footswitch Boost.

AH-ha!! Thank you so much for the info Tom! That totally clears everything up and that's pretty sweet knowing I have the older one! It can get hard trying to find information on the prescriptions!
