JJ 12AX7 / ECC83S V1

2 tubes, matched as pair

EL34 II has fuller low mids and low end but does not lose headroom in the high end. Stronger than regular JJ EL34 but not as aggressive as the JJ E34L.

TT-Selektion: Balanced
The Sovtek 12AX7WC has a little bit more gain than the Sovtek 12AX7WB and  the 12AX7WA. The noise floor is still pretty low compared with other 12AX7 tubes and the dependabiliyt very high.

All JJ preamp tubes are selected within a close tolerance and handtested for best sound and quality. Furthermore all pins are gold plated to achieve best electrical contact.
What about the sound? It is still the famous and well known JJ brownsound - warm and smooth.

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.

Application Notes

• Heater operation: The tube can be operated with 6.3V or 12.6V, depending on the circuit design.
• Grid resistors: It is recommended to use grid resistors of at least 1MΩ to ensure stable functionality.
• Coupling capacitors: Capacitors with low capacitance (typically 0.1µF) are recommended to minimize high-frequency interference.

TT-Selection: Balanced Gain

The Ultimate 12AX7. Big, warm, and musical. High Gain, ultra-low microphonics, and superb linearity with a dynamic 3-D sound.

Due to many requests by fans of our Tung-Sol line of tubes, the Tung-Sol EL84/6BQ5 has been reissued. The Tung-Sol EL84/6BQ5 was a popular OEM tube for American-made EL84/6BQ5 guitar amplifiers, such as those built by Gibson and Harmony. Due to its rugged construction and conservative ratings, it is the most reliable current production EL84 type available for use in Vox AC-30 type amplifiers. In addition, its linearity and tone characteristic make it the ideal replacement for EL84 hi-fi amplifiers, such as those built by Fisher, Scott, and Harmon-Kardon.

TT Selection: Balanced
Both systems with balanced gain

Remake of a 12AY7 / 6072. Smooth sound, great for fender-like amps.
