No! Some are a tiny bayonet fitting like a domestic lamp, some are MES. THEN you need the electrical rating. Probably 6-8volts 300mA but then I don't know the amp.
Some can be a right pig to get out! You might need a special rubber tool (shut up at the back!)

It baffles me why manufacturers don't fit them as stock! OK they are technically the wrong voltage, but the difference in brightness is fairly negligible in practice when the bulb is going to be hidden by a coloured glass jewel anyway.

Does nobody make an LED replacement?
Dave.
I don't know. No reason they shouldn't be available though. I have made my own with white LEDs and a resistor when I've needed to replace unusual bulbs sometimes and I can't find one.

Ha! I got some strange looks when I suggested it for the Artisans!
BTW the pilot light cover on the very early Artisans was glued on! (they should only have put the green ***t on the BACK threads!) . If you can't shift it (and I broke a couple trying) take the chassis out and heat the back of the lamp up with a hair dryer or VERY carefully with a heat gun. With glove/rag the lens cover should come off. DO NOT heat the lens assy' it will melt!
Dave.
Yes there are LED replacements. Orange used them.
They still seem to fail though............

Likely, LEDs have a pretty low PIV. My mod would have been a resistor and 1N4007+LED.

For all the shit that's been typed in OT and SC recently, (some by me @TTony ) it's refreshing to find an answer to a guitar-related problem.
