    12AXT tube?

    Hey folks,
    I had a bad tube in my Fender twin...a 12AXT. This is a new one on me, having usually dealt with 6L6s, 8550s, EL34s, 12AX7s, etc. Anyone have a recommendation on what brand to replace this with? (The current one is an old Sylvainia...)
    Thanks!

    look on e-bay for a NOS tube. or call a tube store and ask for a cross-reference.

    which socket is it in? do you still have your tube chart in the amp? if you don't get any responses that help i can look later in my old fender and help you out more.
    GEAR:

    some guitars...WITH STRINGS!!!! most of them have those sticks like on guitar hero....AWESOME!!!!

    some amps...they have some glowing bottle like things in them...i think my amps do that modelling thing....COOL, huh?!?!?!

    and finally....

    i have those little plastic "chips" used to hit the strings...WHOA!!!!

      The tube chart is still inside..I'll have to look in there and check it out. (It's at my rehearsal space) It's the far right tube, right beside the transformer.

        There are a lot of good choices. You could try dougstubes.com He has a 12ax7 sampler set of current production premap tubes. You can try each of them in the V1 position on your amp. I'm told by experts that the V1 tube is responsible for 85% of the preamps tone.

          As far as I know, there is no such thing. Are you sure it isn't a 12AT7?

          The 12AT7 is what Fender uses for the phase inverter/driver. Use a 12AX7 to get more gain and distortion.
