Title: 12ax7 spacing
Post by: fossilshark on April 05, 2023, 07:15:10 pm

Hi all, im making this bracket to mount 3 12ax7s horizontally inside a preamp and we cut it shorter then i would like.

How cruicial is the spacing between 12ax7s? If these sockets are mounted like this will they be too close?

If to cut one other plate Is a pain .... use It

Just rotate a bit the sochets as to don't have the screw holes in the same line (or space willl be insufficent)

There is an abundance of information in ARCHIVEs that answers frequently asked questions.
