???bought a 2004 maz 18 reverb on ebay recently. sounded like it was in need of a tube swap so I requested the setup the doc is currently using. received a sovtek(sov5AR4/GZ34), a pair of GT EL84's gold #5's. It's obvious where these go in the amp along with the 12AT7WC JAN NOS but the confusion is the various 12AX7's that were sent. Assuming they're different for a reason, they are the following and I want to put them in the proper sockets. 2-JJECC83/12AX7 Tesla slovak, 1-SOV 12AX7WB/7025 lo noise, 1- SOV 12AX7LPS Sovtek. HELP ,I'm technically challenged. Thanks in advance

The 2 JJ ECC83's go in V1 & V2, the 12AX7WB/7025 lo noise is the reverb return and goes in V4, and the 12AX7LPS is the doc's choice for phase inverters and goes in V5.
Hope this helps

And as I just found out V1 is the furthest to the right away from the EL84's . So read V1 through V5 looking at the back of the amp right to left .

;DGot into the tube swap this evening and WOW now I have an amp to be proud of. As it turns out the 1st or 2nd owner ( ) put a 12AX7A in V2. This rig had no juice at all in it . REally sweet with the ECC83 in V1 & V2 but I had no idea even after I read the tube boxes as I didn't know what 12AX7"s went where or if the Doc once used a 7A in that position as I initially only pulled V1 &2 before I decided to get on the forum and ask questions. Really sweet with my 63 strat and my nashville tele. Haven't plugged in my Di Margio humbucker tele yet. Once again thanks for the guidance.
