TT Selection: V1 - Low Noise
This tube is selected for sensitive input stages (V1)

Sweet and warm sounding preamp tube with high gain. We recommend this tube for guitar/bass amps.

Sonically similar to the "normal" JJ 12AX7, but the overall sound is "fuller" and "stronger" with a more powerful bass. Visually, compared to the normal JJ 12AX7, the long anode plates stand out, as well as a slightly higher current. Suits well in guitar and bass amps, but also in audio and high-end areas.

Note: Tubes equipped with long plates are commonly associated with a "warmer" or "richer" sound, whereas those with shorter plates tend to deliver a "tighter sound". However, tubes featuring long plates exhibit increased sensitivity to vibrations and mechanical disturbances, rendering them less ideal for critical applications.

The newest member in the JJ family of ECC83/12AX7 tubes is the JJ ECC83MG. The MG is a 12AX7 with a bit lower amplification than a standard 12AX7. Our measurements show that the difference is small, but the new tube sounds more linear than the standard JJ 12AX7, and in amps produces a milder, gentler sound. The mechanical construction shows that it is not just another minor variation of the normal JJ 12AX7. The new tube has longer plates.
The JJ ECC83MG is interesting for low and medium gain amplifiers, as well as for audio, where a too hot amp needs to be tamed; as well as an alternative to a 12AY7.

TT Selection: V1 - Low Noise
This tube is selected for sensitive input stages (V1)

The TT12AX7 impresses with its fine and detailed reproduction of the highs, which is maintained even at high amplification levels. Due to a higher H3 part, the TT12AX7 sounds significantly cleaner than many other 12AX7/ECC83 tubes, which makes the bass range appear much tighter. We therefore especially recommend this tube for styles such as clean, crunch, and metal, where high amplification and clear transparency are required.

Warm and balanced overall sound, paired with high resolution and brilliance, which is why the TT12AT7 achieves the best results in both instrumental and audio/high-end amplifiers.

Features:

• Excellent sound resolution and brilliance
• Ideal for instrumental and audio/high-end amplifiers

Hint;
Often, 12AU7 and 12AT7 types are used instead of 12AX7 tubes in order to either reduce the overall power of the amplifier or just take back the overdrive of the preamp. Especially the 12AU7 brings a very large tonal difference compared to a 12AX7, which is usually much greater than when switching from a 12AX7 to 5751 or 12AT7.

When using a 12AU7 in a driver stage that is normally designed for 12AX7, the overall power of the power amp is usually reduced. How big this difference is depends on the amplifier or circuit. For example, a Marshall with a 12AX7 in the phase inverter stage set to volume 5 will then reach the same volume with a 12AU7 set to volume 6 (perceived volume, not measured).
