JJ 12AX7 / ECC83 Preamp Vacuum Tubes (Three Pack)

rewired the socket from 6n2 to 12ax7, a must do sonic upgrade, everything sounds better, not too expensive, but no comparisons with other brands of 12ax7's though

These are quality tubes that helped me solve my noise problem in 20 year old Blues Jr.

I just received these tubes in the mail yesterday, and I installed them right away in the preamp section of my Jet City 20w combo amp (JCA2112). The tubes in the amp previously were marked "made in china" and were 12ax7R, which I think must be the same as the ax7s, do to their pretty high gain tendency. I picked the JJ's at the recommendation of the Jet City's product support guy, and based on some positive feedback from fellow musicians.I've only had the tubes in for about 36 hours now, but last night I put them through about 3 hours of gig time and they sounded great. The item description that Amazon provides is really pretty right on- these tubes increase clean headroom nicely. The original stock chinese tubes broke up almost instantly, and while that was fun for heavier rock, I've always been displeased with the lack of clean tones my amp could provide. The JJs changed all that in a hugely noticeable way. I'm reserving my final judgement for a few weeks from now when they've had another 10 hours of playing time, but here's what I've noticed so far:-Great headroom and very musical, lush breakup- not harsh, jagged distortion, but creamy, bluesy drive.-tight lows, very pronounced mids, and a nice, chimey high-end that isn't brittle at all.-The note separation that the increased headroom gives is really great, and even with the preamp gain cranked, lead runs and hammer-on pull-of stuff has a nice, clear quality to it that allows notes to cut through the breakup in a really cool, vintage sounding way.I guess I should also add that while this 3-pack isn't eligible for Prime, I received the package in 3 days and it was very well-protected. I would recommend the JJs, especially if you have an amp that comes stock with chinese tubes. These really do make a difference in tone.

Tubes all tested very good and seem to have great sound but have not had much time yet seriously evaluate. order and shipping very smooth and fast of course.

I have an 80s delta blues amp my tubes were bad and it time to replace the all, I bought the JJ EL84s matched quad. for the power section and decided to go ahead and use JJ 12AX7 preamp tubes so all the tubes would be JJs and wow brought the old peavey to life. Nice creamy clean tone that ring nicely with tight bottom end. When pushed on the high gain channel these still offer a nice almost vintage classic rock tone that isn’t so distorted that my guitars tone get muddy but yet instead can cut through the mix just fine. I have been playing around with putting different tubes in the V1 slot as this is probably the most important tube in the pre amp stage and is the tube that will define your tone a bad tube in the V1 slot can totally destroy you amps overall tone. Love the JJs for what they bring to the table with my amp.

For My Fender Custom Pro Reverb! Absolutely Love New Tubes!

Bought these to replace a stock tube in three ART TubeMP's (I Love those and they sound really great for their price) and have been super pleased with how magnificent they sound in them. I haven't had them deployed very long so I don't know about the longevity part, but so far they sound really Rich and Warm and I'm super pleased with the purchase of them and would recommend to others for certain. Great Tubes, Great Tone!

Used for replacing preamp tubes. Works great 3rd tube for a spare
