6SL7 and 6SN7 swaps

Post by tdbajus » Wed Mar 10, 2021 12:46 pm

A friend of mine asked me if I knew of any reason he couldn't swap a 6SN7 for a 6SL7 for more gain.

The interwebs have a lot of conflicting accounts. A little bell rings in the back of my mind says there's something to look out for, besides heater current, but I'll be damned if I can remember.

Pin outs seem to be the same, but still...
