Very good for V1 position of a VOXAC15C1, clearer and with more bite than a JJ ECC83S V1 imho. Also a bit more gain.
NOEL, 04/02/2014

I tried several combinations with three tungsol ,a jj and a chinese tube ,and finally decided to put the three tungsol together (V1,V2,V3) . Other combinations seem tasteless compared to the tungsols . It is a formidable tube in V1,a part of vintage ,clean sounds warm and pretty good in v2 for vintage hi gain . Tanks from France . combinations seem tasteless compared to the tungsols . It is a formidable tube in V1,a part of vintage ,clean sounds warm and pretty good in v2 for vintage hi gain .

Very good Tube for V1...I have put one of these Tung Sol 12AX7 / ECC83 Reissue on my Ibanez TSA 15H and one on my Bugera V22 (on V1 also) The result is more musicality,more Gain, tight Low End and Smooth Highs + a very good sustain!!! I recomend it to any Guitarist who wants to Upgrade his preamp stage... I also changed the EL84 on the Bugera V22 for JJ Tesla's !!!Great sound ,Waouh !!! I also added 2X 6V6GT EH (Amp Stage) on my TSA15H and the result was quite Amazing!!! More Head room and Musicality!!! My Advise: Go for Tung Sol Reissue on V1 or V2,V3...You wont be desapointed!!! THX TUBE TOWN For your Fast Delivering (5 days from Germany to South of France...(in comparison,I still wait for Tubes I have Ordered Elsewere 8 Days ago...) is more musicality,more Gain, tight Low End and Smooth Highs + a very good sustain!!!

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.

Electrical Characteristics

Heater voltage (Uf): 6.3V or 12.6V
Heater current (If): 300mA at 6.3V, 150mA at 12.6V
Anode voltage (Ua): Maximum 300V
Grid voltages (Ug1): -2V (typical)
Grid voltages: -50V to 0V
Anode current (Ia): 1.2mA (typical)
Anode power dissipation: Maximum 1W per triode
Anode resistance (ra): 62.5kΩ
Amplification factor (μ): 100
Transconductance (S): 1.6mA/V
Input capacitance (Cin): 1.6pF
Output capacitance (Cout): 1.6pF

Mechanical Characteristics

Socket: B9A (Noval)
Number of pins: 9

Pin Configuration

1 Anode (Triode 1)
2 Grid (Triode 1)
3 Cathode (Triode 1)
4 Heater (f)
5 Heater (f)
6 Anode (Triode 2)
7 Grid (Triode 2)
8 Cathode (Triode 2)
9 Center Heater (f)

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.
