Question for Markbass TTE users

[raf666]

Hi,
I don't post so much here but I'm a serious reader!
Got a question for TTE owners :
I've just bought a Markbass TTE 500 and I wonder if precedent owner hadn't invert the tubes.
Where is the compressor tube supposed to be? V1, V2, V3 or V4? On mine it's on V1 but I find it strange and on V2 it sounds better to me.
I sent an email to Markbass but got no answer and I don't find any information on tubes positions.

ECC81 should be for the compressor, which is V2, all the others should be ECC83.

Ok, thanks.
That's what I though.

hi, can somebody tell me if the cooling fan is loud? Louder than other markbass amps?

From what I remember ( and I had mine 8 odd years ago) it was the same fan as in the LMIII head. I don't know if the bigger size of the amp case and better ventilation made it louder or quieter than a LMIII however ?
