![]() the pinout issue i'm dealing with for the amps. but with this mistake, it sounds more like an actual stage in an actual amp. was always a fuzzy noise maker, nothing really great. the sucker sounds KILLER! it has more headroom than it ever had in the past. the tube is glowing brightly, i guess it SHOULD be as the heaters are running at double their rated voltage!!!īut here's the thing. sounded GREAT!! i was surprised, actually. believe it or not, fired right up still!! with the 6n2p wired as stock right into the 12ax7 socket. stinky cloud of funky nastiness disipated a bit, and i tried again. so i plugged in the adapter, something started smoking, i pulled the power. the 6n2p is SIX VOLT OPERATION ONLY, not 6/12 like a 12axwhatever. the valvecaster runs at 12vac, on a 2 amp wart. i made sure everything was insulated, and decided to try it in my valvecaster first, before trying in a guitar amp. nipped off the bottom of pin 9 on the russian tube side, and tied it to pin 8 as its the center tap of the heater supply on a 12a_7, but on the 6n2p it just connects to an internal shield. i bent pin 5 to pin 9 of the socket saver, soldered them together. so i bought some socket savers and figured i'd make my own adapters.įirst try? not so great. some circuits they work well, others not so well. I bought a bunch of russian 6n2p ev's on the bay a while back. Was dicking around with my valvecaster that haveyouseenhim sent me a board for eons ago. ![]()
