This Russian tube is full bodied and bright with a more straightforward presentation. It packs a lot of bite with its higher-than-normal gain. In overdrive, it offers a lot of crunchy fizz. High gain preamplifier tube with ultra low noise and detailed, musical tone. Unique spiral filament eliminates filament to cathode induced hum common on amplifiers that use AC on the filaments.

Superior high gain short plate format Twin Triode, with ultra-low noise and detailed, musical tone.

  • Ultra-low noise thanks to unique spiral filament which eliminates cathode-to-filament induced hum on certain amps
  • ECC83/7025 equivalent

It looks like your amp takes one 12AX7 and two 12AU7's. This Electro-harmonix 12AX7 will work and you can find the 12AU7 on our site.

EH 12AX7 tubes are a great But what's even better is the customer service I received from tubes and more. With a good client's repair on the bench who is moving in a week I ordered 12AY7s accidentally. Emailed The guys at tubes and More explaining the situation the service was impeccable I received an RA number, the correct order was put in the system and shipped out immediately then the difference as well as the credit was processed in more than a timely manner. As a business owner this kind of customer service really stands out and makes a difference of who I'm going to order from in the future. Tubes and more is at the top of my list and I'm very pleased with The price and of course the service I received.

Replaced a standard 12AX7 with this tube to add a bit more gain in this 5 watt amp. Not a huge difference, but enough to notice.

For a Fender Deluxe Reverb, Out of a full set of Electro Harmonix tubes, just pulled out the last bad one. Out of 5 tubes, 2 12AT7's and 3 12AX7's, every single one was bad. The first shot, 2 extremely microphonic 12AX7's, since they were in the return period, AES sent replacements. The 12AT7 reverb driver blew out last week (probably less than 25 hours runtime), replaced that, then this week one side of the phase inverter dropped gain suddenly. Since they are now out of warranty, I had to replace 3 bad tubes out of pocket. Until Electro Harmonix fixes their quality problems, I would not recommend their 12AX7's or 12AT7's.
