12ay7 instead of 12bh7 and 6cg7 in Magnatone 280

Post by dinkotom »

Would subbing 12ay7 (amp. factor 44) instead of 12bh7 (amp. factor 17) and 6cg7 (amp. factor 20) in Magnatone 280 will make the vibrato stronger? I know I have to rewire the heaters, but will there be any adverse effects?

I believe he has a recurring health problem, which is a pity. He is Mr. Magnatone IMHO.
