RE: Where are you putting the 12AX7

6EU7 and 12AX7 are about the same tube inside the bottle. Both are twin triodes with a mu of 100. The 12AX7 has a center-tapped 12 volt heater so it can be run on either a 12 or 6 volt heater supply. The 6EU7's two heaters are in series and need 6 volts.

So you'd have to rewire the socket to use a 12AX7, but that's it. Also, if you rewired for a 12AX7, you could try a 12AT7 (mu of 60) to see if that sounds better to you.
