Erwin	Re: Anyone try a JAN GE 12AY7 (6072A) as V1 in 5e3x2? Well I put the GE 12AY7 in V1 and am impressed. So far I've had the following: 1. OEM Chinese 12AX7, Bright, strong upper end. 2. Telefunken 12AT7, Smooth, sweet, well balanced refined tone. 3. JJ ECC83s, Strong, full, very nice well rounded. 4. NOS GE 12AY7, Wow, very musical, smokey blues tiones from the P90 Les Paul. Made me do a double take, "was that me?" I have a Telefunken ECC 83 and Fender (GE) 7025 I want to try too. This 5e3x2 circuit is so responsive to tube changes. Btw, I'm using a quad of JJ 6V6GTs and a Weber WY3GT CC. I have a WR4 CC too. Lovin' the WY3GT for now. Erwin
