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. 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! 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.

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

Sommer Cable - SC-SPIRIT LLX LOW LOSS, Instrumenten cable - 5 Meter

Making the impossible come true… -

when dealing with a new guitar cable, this involves creating an extremely low capacitance together with a breathtaking flexibility. Developing an insulation which ensures super low values by means of a gas-injected foaming – this is not an easy job, but well within the bounds of possibility for a professional cable maker. However, protecting this fragile insulation also against motion, creasing or twisting, is indeed a true challenge.

With the SC-SPIRIT LLX "LOW LOSS" we have fallen back on the same insulation design as it is used in professional HD-SD video cables. For extra stability of the inner construction we use an optimised concentrical litz stranding and a special insulation curing on the surface. For the outer jacket we have applied a rubberlike soft PVC jacket, which is highly flexible, extremely compact, stretches hardly and protects the whole inner structure from exterior influences.

Due to its low capacitance and its very special construction the SC-SPIRIT LLX "LOW LOSS" is one of the world’s ultra-low loss guitar cables.

With DIY assembly please watch out that the black carbon screen (sitting on the white insulation) is conductive and must therefore be removed to avoid ground contact with the inner conductor.

ADVANTAGES:

Extremely low capacitance values
Robust, twist-proof and easy to reel
Low-loss, detailed and neutral transmission properties
Double shielding by Cu mesh plus conductive carbon screen

APPLICATION:

Highly flexible cable for the demanding studio and live guitarist
High-quality patch cabling in the professional studio technology
High-end cable for the live DJ

EH 7025 (12AX7 / ECC83 HQ) - V1

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

Electro-Harmonix has released a low noise, low microphonic version of the 12AX7 that meets all specifications required for the tube to be designated 7025. The original 7025 tube was a 12AX7 that was tested and selected for the lowest noise and microphonics for use in the critical first preamp stages of amplifiers where noise and microphonics could be an issue. In order to ensure that the 7025 specification is consistently met, Electro-Harmonix has redesigned the structure of the 12AX7 and has implemented construction techniques to ensure the absolute lowest noise and microphonics possible. In all samples tested, noise and microphonics could not be detected.

The Electro-Harmonix 7025EH has a mid-range that gives clarity and definition to the sound and a smooth top end for warmth and balance. With these characteristics, along with the exceptionally low noise and low microphonics, the Electro-Harmonix 7025EH will work equally well in vintage and modern high-gain guitar amplifiers, as well as sensitive phono preamps.

Sommer Cable - SC-SPIRIT BLACK ZILK, Instrument cable - 5 Meter

SC-SPIRIT BLACK ZILK

Self-respecting musicians...
rock with one of the most interesting guitar cables ever made. This soft, highly flexible guitar cable
with its very attractive finish stands out by outward and inner values. It is sheathed by a thick 7.2 mm jacket
in a velvety, semi-transparent BLACK ZILK jacket, which glides on the the floor as lightly as a feather.
We use concentrically stranded litz wires of oxygen.free class Nò Cile copper (OFC 99.9999%) and a GAS-
INJECTED PE insulation which ensures a low-loss, neutral transmission.

The stranding angle of the shielding screen has been chosen with care so that hardly any friction points
will ocour at the overlying sleeve protection of the connector, giving the cable an extra long life.

With DIY configuring please bear in mind that the black carbon screen(on the white insulation) is conductive
and must therefore be removed to avoid any earthing contact with the inner conductor.

PRODUCT ADVANTAGES:

Semi-transparent soft jacket design ensures a high number of bending cycles
Gorgeous velvet look with soft touch feeling
Dual shielding by flat helical Cu mesh and carbon semiconductor
High bending cycles
Zero-twist winding

APPLICATION:

High-end guitar cable for pure transmission even over longer distances
perfect for the unbalanced studio cabling

Sommer Cable SC-THE SPIRIT XXL, black transparent - 3 Meter

This high end guitar cable is one of the most successful products of the past years and enjoys cult status with guitarists and bassists alike. Because of the excellent price-performance ratio, German and international trade press elected the SC-SPIRIT XXL test champion several times in a row.
The cable is robust and yet flexible, while its smoke-coloured jacket gives it a high recall value.
The shielding is ideal: The braiding is 95 % opaque and provides optical protection of 100 %, for even more safety.
A special lacquering makes the complex foamed polyethylene insulation very endurable and helps protect the excellent transmission properties for years to come.
The wire diameter of 0.75 mm² limits the loss typical for long distance guitar cables. There is hardly a guitar cable at a length of 10 m that sounds as good as the SC-SPIRIT XXL.
The customers consider the sound of the SC-SPIRIT XXL to be crystal-clear, clean and very neutral. It reproduces the impulsiveness of bass attacks exquisitely.
Caution: The black carbon shield between the braided shielding and the insulation is highly conductive. It must be removed before soldering to avoid short circuiting!

THE APPLICATION:

Enormously powerful and clear sound image for bass, guitar and keyboard
Double shielding due to the combination of copper braided shield and conductive carbon shielding
Transmission free of losses due to low capacity and large wire diameter
Very flexible and easy to wind due to the use of fine individual stranding
Durability and robustness due to a special high quality PVC-mixture for the jacket
High quality guitar and bass cable for studio and stage
Unbalanced cable for keyboards, samplers, mixing boards, etc.
Connection of stereo video recorder and DAT-recorder

TT 12AX7 / ECC83 Classic V1

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.
