Sounds solid in my Fender Super Champ.
I've built and sold several 5F1 amp heads recently. I like using JJ 12AX7 preamp tubes in them for their consistently excellent sound and reliability. JJs have never let me down in this regard.
Excellent replacement tubes for my Hendy Michelangelo. Best prices and fast shipping.
Excellent service, quick shipping, and well packaged. Tube just as advertised.
Used these JJ ECC83 tubes on a restoration of a vintage Knight stereo amplifier and the work great. To my ears sounds as good as the original Mullard 12AX7 tubes.
After installing a complete set of JJ tubes in a Fender 68 deluxe reverb reissue, the customer said his amp sounds better than it ever has! I’ve had nothing but good experiences with JJ tubes,
Used these to replace the same model tubes in a Hendyamps Michelangelo equalizer. Worked perfectly and sounded the same as the previous 4 year old tubes did when new. Thank you!
Put five of these in an old Carvin Nomad. Chimes out really nice. Quite operation.
These are great tubes, I replaced all the tubes in my 1965 Fender PA amp, and these pre-amp tubes sound excellent.
Ordered 3 antique vacuum tubes. Well please with the items I got.
