RE: Are There Any Issues Using 12au7 in Place of 12ax7s?


A circuit built for and optimized for a 12ax7 will not be right for a 12au7 so the harmonic distortion will be higher than it would be if the circuit was meant for a 12au7.

It's hard to say how much plate current the 12au7 will draw when placed into a 12ax7 circuit.

It probably won't burn the amp up.
