TT 12AU7 / ECC82

With a soft and detailed sound, as well as sufficient headroom, the TT 12AU7/ECC82 enhances the sound characteristics of any amplifier, whether it's for guitar, bass, or high-end. These tubes deliver a dynamic range, captivating listeners and musician with uncompromising clean sounds and rich overdrive.

Features:

Detailed sound
Ideal for both low and high gain amplifiers

Tip:
Often, 12AU7 and 12AT7 types are used instead of 12AX7 tubes to either reduce the overall power of the amplifier or to just reduce the overloading of the preamp. In comparison to a 12AX7, the 12AU7 brings about a very large sonic difference, typically much greater than switching from 12AX7 to 5751 or 12AT7.

When using a 12AU7 in a driver stage normally designed for 12AX7, the overall power of the power stage is usually reduced. The extent of this difference depends on the amplifier or circuit. For example, a Marshall amplifier with a 12AX7 in the PI stage set at volume 5 will then reach the same volume level with a 12AU7 at volume 6 (perceived volume, not measured).

EH 7025 (12AX7 / ECC83 HQ)

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.

TT 12AT7 / ECC81

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:

Warm and balanced sound
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).

Tonespeak Boston 1020 10" / 20 W / 8 Ohm

Create your next signature sound with the Boston 10” guitar speaker. Spotlight your tone with a driver that delivers a warm, articulate bottom-end, scooped mids, and blooming highs.

This model includes a good old fashioned 1960’s style Alnico magnet assembly for an ultra-quick impulse response. The often-misunderstood magic of Alnico is that it partially and temporarily demagnetizes when you push them hard, applying a simple compression effect that adds a satisfying sense of sweetness that can't be beat.
