dewey finn Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 Can a 12ax7 be used to replace an EF86 w/o modifications? I think it is okay but need verification.
dewey finn Posted November 6, 2010 Author Posted November 6, 2010 So even though both are considered preamp tubes they are not interchangeable. Thanks. saved me a big headache for sure!
ArnieZ Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 So even though both are considered preamp tubes they are not interchangeable. Thanks. saved me a big headache for sure!The 12ax7 ia a twin triode tube and the ef86 is a pentode. Not remotely interchangableArnieZ
edgar_allan_poe Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Will it even fit in the same socket? I don't even think you could put a 12AX7 into an EF86 socket. Can you?
e-isle rock Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 Yes, they will both fit. My amp uses both 12AX7's and an EF86. The pins are identical.
ArnieZ Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 pins fit but the pin-outs are WAY different!ArnieZ
