Not for me!

One of the many 12ax-7 I tested on a combo Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, but also a head Marshall Class5. And one that made me less enthousiasm.
I have not apprci aggressive drive ct or more drive, the o many other lamps (GT, Ruby, or even Sovtek TAD) are more or imbalances their lack of character in clean, channel with which I find them too flat. This is always "less worse" than the Tung-Sol that dfinitivement not the case -in any case in these two narratives amps, but I can advise in these configurations, fewer seek this type of sonority.

I note "means" not "bad" because I did not RALIS enough trials to allow me. I guess these JJ operate very well on some kind of amps....…

very good value for money

I think JJ product good enough lamps in all but this one, I transferred all my amps, current and past.
To me, his record is without relief or dynamic, flat and dark. The clean and shiny Fender sounds, JJ ECC83s the hurts, the beautiful crispy distos that in acute Marshall, it's not for her either. It costs almost nothing but worthless. There are better for the same price, although I can not advise anything, because I do not use that NOS preamp. This is probably the low cost which explains why it is found in many new amps.
I say after trying a very large amount of current and former tubes ECC83/12AX7 and say that I know a good end amplification tubes. …

Hear your sound opened!

Recently installed (one month) on my Crate BV 120 to replace the groove tubes 12ax7R, I'm not disappointed with the trip!
While the origins lamps were rinsed, and the amp has a naturally aggressive that these lamps are not contrived, huge qualities of these JJ felt his, her rounder, more open, a gain not too tight, but well this thick, they are perfect for an amp too "bright". They do not turn a brilliant dark amp amp, but they just correct it takes they readjusted.
Some people recommend for amps that can not be softened, so I think these are lamps for use in a specific context like me if we met 4 of 4! But frankly, coupling with other lamps, it must have an interesting impact.

Finally, I must admit that even playing with the gain pushed to 7, there is breath, but not too much, nothing embarrassing live anyway.
In my personal case, it is therefore 4 of these mounted lamps with JJ 6L6 GC power, everything works very well, I have a friend who did the same thing on his triple mesa correct, and it is equally delighted!
