JJ EL84 / 6BQ5 Red Label - QUARTETT

JJ EL84 #06 -Standard

• Recommended for Peavey Classic 30 / 50, AC30 and similar amps
• Price for one tube.

FAQ: If I order two or more of these tubes, are they all "the same"?
Yes, the tubes are all "matched" and selected for the in the description mentioned amplifiers.
FAQ: Can I replace the tubes myself or are adjustments needed?
Adjustments are not possible on the listed amplifier (unless a bias potentiometer has been added afterwards). The replacement can therefore be done without adjustments.

JJ EL84 #07 - Standard plus

• Slightly hotter than the #06 selection
• Selected and recommended for VOX AC 30 / 15  and similar amps.
• Price for one tube.

FAQ: If I order two or more of these tubes, are they all "the same"?
Yes, the tubes are all "matched" and selected for the in the description mentioned amplifiers.

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.

• Datasheet

JJ's version of the ECC81/12AT7 tube type with a warm and soft sound. Often used for phase inverters or reverb drivers.

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

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

TT Selection: Balanced
Both systems with balanced gain

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

Files:

• Datasheet

Very linear working 12AX7 / ECC83 with long anode plates and spiral heating, which makes the tube less sensitive to interference from AC heating.
We recommend this tube for audio and high-end amps as well as for "modern" Fender amps with more overdrive, but also as an input tube in old Marshall JCM800s.

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.

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.
