R.F. DOUBLE TRIODE
12AY7 is a medium gain pre-amplifying double triode.
Similar to the 12AX7 tube, the 12AY7 (also known as a 6072) is a dual triode preamp tube which can plug in the same sockets as a 12AX7 (same pin layout) however it has medium gain compared other 12AX7 range of tubes.
To be clear, they are not a 12AX7, they merely share the same pinout configuration.
So whats the difference?
The 12AY7 draws a bit more current than a 12AX7 and have a different capacitance between some of the elements in the tube as well as different plate dissipation.
This tube can often be used as an alternative to a 12AX7 however it will depend on the available current your transformer can provide. Usually, not an issue and most transformers have a bit of spare grunt built in.

Great mid gain alternative
22 July 2019I wanted to calm down the pre-amp gain on my Artist TweedTone 20R. Replaced the 12AX7 at V2 with one of these and it's done the job beautifully. I now have a more manageable range of gain on both channels. Rick.
