Ampeg V4B re-issue tube chart

[Tiny_Daddy]

This amp uses all 12AX7 and one 12AU7 as PI. Problem is, I don't know if this is correct because the tubes are not original. I cannot find a schematic or manual that matches this amp. Should the tube that drives the PI be a 12DW7?

If your amp is a V4b reissue (V4H), The PI is a 12AU7.  They did not use the 12DW7 or the compactron tube, or the 7027 for that matter.  The only problem is they used 2 12AU7s, I just don't remember where they used the other one...  I suppose there is no schematic in the cabinet or chassis.  I got half the question answered, anyway...

Thanks, that's the amp. The preamp tubes don't seem to be called out but they are likely both 12AX7.

The chassis is labeled with all the tubes types.

This chassis isn't, I went and looked again. No labels in the cabinet either. Anyone out there with a labeled chassis?

I havent been here in a while but , im fixing a v4b reissue. Check this out, correct voltages on heaters but tubes will not light up.
HELP
Thanks

Maybe you're not measuring the filament voltage correctly. Measure the voltage between the filament pins, not from chassis to one pin and then from chassis to the other pin. IOW, put one meter probe on one filament pin and the other probe on the other filament pin. I bet that will tell a different story.
