I know this has been talked about before but I justed switched the 5751 in P2 to a 12ax7 in my Mazerati. I noticed that my amp breaks up quicker and sounds more "conventional" (like a Marshall). With the 12ax7 in P2 the amp responds a little better to overdrives to my ear as well. It's nice, but it takes away from the depth of tone that was there with the stock 5751.
What other preamp (or Rectifier tubes) have you put in yout Mazerati? I'm more interested in tube model numbers (12ax7, 12ay7, ECC...) than NOS Brands and whatnot. Please dumb it down for me.
Can you switch the 5751 to position one? What will that do?
Could I put a 5751 in a Fender or Marshall without screwing it up? Where would I put it?

I also noticed that changing P2 to a 12ax7 (from a 5751) really changed where the tone knob swept through what frequencies. It seemed overall to have less low end and where I would expect one sound to be (for example at 12 o'clock on the tone knob moved to about 1-2 o'clock) but still wasn't quite the same.

You can put a 5751 in any position that is supposed to take a 12AX7, as it's a direct replacment. 5751's have lower gain than the 12AX7, but sound great to me with a smoother top end.

Have you ever switched the two? How does that change the sound? Thanks
