i was replacing a few tubes today and the glass broke on V4. it was really tightly seated.

what's a preferred way to get that tube out? pliers or something?

Turn amp OFF and disconnect from wall outlet .
Put Standby switch in play position ; this will discharge filters caps.
Wait half hour .

Use very small screw driver to pry tube's base from out of socket .
Or
Use plier , to pull the tube from the top . If you ( need to ) break all the glass you can see the tube's pins with glass base . You can use plier on pins


.
