I've heard about that 12DW7 tube and it's uses in the Phase Inverter position.

I've heard that it can be used in the Princeton Reverb also. One half of the tube (the 12AU7) drives the Phase Inverter circuit. The other half functions as what? Is it a driver for the power amp section or the other half of the tremelo oscillator circuit? Does anyone have insights or experiences with this substitution?
