And for Paolo when you wrote "All symptoms point there: valve not lighting, taking a long time to heat, low gain, very little overdrive." My amp doesn't take a long time to heat, I meant that I needed to turn on my amp like half hour so that valve doesn't went off, but like I saw yesterdat that valve went off in another V's position.
Now I'll be buying a JJ803s for my V1, and tungsols for v2 v3 & v4, so I can get more loder andhi-gain, that configuration works well for that matter?
Thanks again for everything!

Just wanted to let you know that the latest tube news is concerning Tung-Sol. Their 12AX7 is not holding up well in V3 (tone stack/cathode follower). I would recommend that you go with a different tube in that position. If you have already bought it, keep an eye on it. It may or may not last.
Here's the thread. They are talking about a different amp, but that doesn't matter.
These pre-amp valves for my 2203.....
