The GP12 SMX (according to the user manual) has a single valve stage. Without getting it open and having a look inside we are purely guessing BUT it is most likely a 12AX7 and it will likely be PCB mounted in a socket.

If you can't figure out how to get the case off to look inside then maybe you shouldn't. Instead seek some knowledgable local help.

Cheers,
