12AX7 ECC83S Gold Pin

The JJ 12AX7 ECC83s gold pin (sometimes called a 12AX7 and sometimes called an ECC83s.. both are accurate) is a well balanced colourful tube with strong lows & mids whilst also providing smooth highs, allowing for more clean head-room compared to some of the higher gain 12AX7s.

When pushed, this tube offers a clean distortion with an all balanced sound across the lows, mids and highs. This is an all-around great tube and one of my personal favourites. I use JJs in a lot of my amps and they have served me well. I like bluesy through to rock and roll.. these tubes work for all as well as a gorgeous clean sound. A++

What is the ideal use for this tube?

The 12AX7 is a 9 pin tube commonly found in the preamp stage of guitar amps.
It is also highly recommended for studio pre-amps and hi-fi gear.

Great bang for the buck.. a good all-around performer without paying too much.
