I put these in the V2 and V3 positions of a VOXAC15C1. They sound good. For the V1 use either a 'V1' rated JJECC83S or a Tung Sol Reissue. Both sound good with the Tung Sol offering a bit more clarity and gain. Both sound good with the Tung Sol offering a bit more clarity and gain.

I have put it in v2,v3,v4 position of my Peavey Ultra Plus following the suggestion of TT. I don't have a lot of experience about tubes but the clean is still sparkly and I don't notify any noise.I've replaced a Sovtek 12ax7 whit this. The crunch and ultra channel aren't noisy also. I'm satisfied and my wallet also! clean is still sparkly and I don't notify any noise.I've replaced a Sovtek 12ax7 whit this. The crunch and ultra channel aren't noisy also.

Kit LNDVerb

The LNDVerb kit is based on a classic Fender reverb circuit, but uses LND 150 Mosfets instead of tubes. These can be operated at voltages as high as 500 V, to get as close as possible to the characteristics of real tubes.

The kit can be integrated into an existing amplifier or can be build as standalone unit like the Fender tube reverb.

The unit needs less than 10 mA current, so a VPump for example can be used as power supply in a standalone build. If it gets integrated into an existing amplifier the already present power supply of the amp can be used to supply the needed voltage for the unit without the need to upgrade the power transformer.

A reverb transformer of the type 125A20B or similar and a reverb tank are necessary to operate the LNDVerb. These are both not included in the kit.

The needed RCA phone sockets and potentiometers are included in the kit.

Further informations and examples of the finished unit can be found in the PDF below.

Matching parts are linked below and can be ordered with the unit if needed.

TT VPump - Voltage Converter

The TT VPUMP kit is a very effective working voltage converter which generates an output voltage of 90 V DC to 220 V DC from a 12V DC input voltage.
The circuit is in use for many years now and it is proven. In this kit the circuit has been adapted to a compact size and optimized for use in small preamplifier chassis. So it is an ideal HV power supply for tube stompboxes and preamps without the need of additional transformers and HV filter capacitors.

The VPump can be operated with a standard 12V DC switching power supply.
The switching power supply is not included in the kit.

Specification:
Input Voltage: 12 V DC @ min 4 VA
Output Voltage: 90 - 220 V DC, adjustable
Output Current: 15 mA @ 220 V DC max

Kit TT PSU Mini

Kit for TT PSU Mini

The kit includes all components except a powertransformer and a choke for building PSU for tube amps. If you want to use a choke instead of the 5 W resistor than you must order the choke that you need separately.
The PSU can handle max 700 V DC at out B1 and B2, 450 V DC at out B3 and is recommended for tube amps up to 50 Watt. The size of the PSU is 97 x 55 mm only and has a high of ca. 40 mm.

Please refer the attached schematic for more infos about the layout and design of the PSU.

Tip: use Duncanamps' PSU Designer to simulate and calculate power supplies.

TT 12AX7 / ECC83 Classic

Tube-Town 12AX7 / ECC83 Preamp-Tube

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.
