Hey there RiverRatt,
I've been using a GE 12BZ7 in the V2 of my Marshall for a while. LOVE the sound. To my ear it seems to have a bit more testosterone than many 12AX7's. It definitely articulates better than most 12AX7's... Which will show up more mistakes if your a sloppy player like I am, but this is a good thing because it forces me to play better.
As far as using it in a single tube amp... Dunno... Never tried. I'd say if you have one, throw it in and let your ears be your guide.
Anyhoo... That's my two cents.
