12AY7 Tubes

The 12AY7 (6072A) is a low-to-medium gain twin triode, with about 40% of a 12AX7's gain. It's the original V1 valve in tweed-era Fender amps like the 5E3 Deluxe, and a favourite for players who want more clean headroom and a warmer, vintage edge. It shares the 12AX7's pinout, so you can try one in V1 of most amps. Compare it in our V1 Tube Simulator, or see our 5751 and 12AT7 tubes.
