I just subbed a 12at7 for the 12ax7 in v1 position on my ss22.
I have more headroom now on the clean channel as i suspected.
But I did not expect so much more of a touch sensitivity-alot more
really really like this clean channel this way.

Is the amp ok for this swap?

Yes! :)

Other than the AT being a lower gain than the AX, they are interchangeable.

A 5751 would be a better choice in my opinion.

My favorites:

I tried a 12AT7 in V1 of my BDRI and found it too clean and sterile. A 5751 has a rounder and smoother tone.
