So I found a couple of nos RCA black plate 12AT7 tubes and was thinking of installing one in my F-1X, replacing the (presumed) stock 12AX7.
Any reason why I shouldn't? It sounds great in my Underground Accelerator pedal (which is 'inspired' by the F-2B).
Give it a rip and report some results... be mindful of the last line here-

Should not be a problem at all.
