Electro harmonix tubes

Hi there,

I'm looking to replace the tube in my Aria tube distortion pedal.

The current tube is an electro harmonix 12AY7EH 6027A.

First question, is there any difference between this and the 12AY7 6027A?
Second question, asre there any other alternative brands/models of valves that would do the same job, without destroying my pedal - and how can I destinguish whether they'll be alright or not?

i.e. what am i looking for in a tube?


Thanks guys,

Ben

They're both pretty mild tubes, the only difference is probably a different shaped heater or something. Unless you really know what you're doing I would just use a replacement with a very similar gain factor, or things might start frying! ;)

There's a little guide here for that very valve series:- [url="http://thetubestore.com/gainfactor.html"]http://thetubestore.com/gainfactor.html[/url]
