Re: 12AT7 vs. 12AX7 for PI
On the other hand, it's common for great-sounding guitar amps to violate general rules about what is "technically" best. Given the overall circuits, I don't think a 12AT7 would sound right in the PI position of either Tweed Fenders or Marshall amps. There is a certain amount of gain and rawness you want in those amps that might be sacrificeed if you use a 12AT7.
