    6) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS How do I hook up this thing? - See Section 2, beginning on page 3. Can I substitute different tube types? - Although you can try 12AT7s, 12AU7s, 5751s without any harm, the design is optimized for 12AX7s, and are therefore the only recommended tube in the preamp positions.
