  • 12AX7, 12AT7, 12AU7,12AY7 in Fender Champ V1

    I assume these all work in a Fender Champ V1 and reduce gain.

    Gain Factors
    12AX7=100
    12AT7=60
    12AY7=45
    12AU7=19
    2 Antiquity P-90 pickups in Epiphone Casino Coupe. MIM Tele Standard (Vintage Stack neck, Fender '62 reissue bridge) Vintage Modified Strat (Lil '59 x 3). Chinese "Champ" Stage Right amp clone with Genalex Gold Lion tubes and Weber 8S speaker.

      Don't use a 12AT7 in gain positions, it is a driver tube. Instead use a 5751, which has a gain of 70, the AT7 is 60 so 5751 is close and better for V1.
      The gain of a 12AY7 isn't 70, as shown in the previous post, it's 40, a lot less.
