franzbassist Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I have two of each of these valves, all tested but never used. The 12AY7 is 45% gain compared to the 100% gain of a 12AX7. Useful if you want to tame a lively preamp! 2 x Electro Harmonix - £13.50 each new, so I'll take £11 each, or both for £20 2 x JAN GE new old stock, US made for military use, grey anode, disc getter, original box - cost me £33 each, I'll sell them for £30 each or both for £58. Please note that prices do NOT include postage. Pick up also available from Central London or NE Hampshire. Cheers Gareth

[/quote] Well, I'm no expert and I am sure someone will correct me if I talk a load of tosh, but with a 12AY& the amp won't head into distortion as soon, so while you may not get more headroom as such, you should be able to play more cleanly at louder levels.
