You have to watch out for the heater-cathode voltage. The max DC
portion of this for a 12AX7 is about 100VDC. So, if the cathode’s much
above 100V, you could be running into trouble. The Schematic claims
about 65V on the cathode, which means you’ve got /some/ room to go up.
Just measure it after you move the wire, and if it’s less than 100V,
you’re golden!

Been there, done that. Not an issue in this application.

 

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.

Playing "Help-Me" In the Style of Sonny Boy Williamson II: A step by step, note for note analysis of some of Sonny Boy's Signature Riffs
