great tubes love them will be buying nother set soon
for back up...
These are great sounding tubes. But I won't call them my favorites, because they don't sound the best for my amps (Bugera 22 and a Trace Elliot SpeedTwin C50). They sound good in my amps, but the sound is probably best described as warm and round. I think that tube selection is like microphone selection: if you have a harsh source, choose a soft mic and vice versa so as to complement the source. So, for my amps (at least to my sound taste) I need pre-amp tubes with a little more bite. I chose Tung Sols.
Retubed the preamp section of a band mates Fender Super Reverb RI and like day and night. It sounded better than when it was new.
JJ TESLA TUBES DELIVER CLEAR WARM SOFT TONALITY IN YOU TUBE AMPLIFIER. SIMPLY THE BEST.
JJ Tesla have the best sound quality you need to make your amp perform. Plus Antique Supply prices won't break the bank. When you need to re-tube this is the place to shop. Enjoy.
Great tone. JJ's do the job...
These are great tubes for new amp builds.
Had what I needed for a good price. Exact matches.
Great product, great price and great packaging. Need I say more? No, because I am totally satisfied with these tubes. No more annoying scratchy sound coming out of my Fender amp.
Great valves JJ simply make the best valves I've used
