The JJ Electronic ECC803 is a high performance, long plate version of the ECC83 / 12AX7. Like all JJ preamp tubes, these are built into a rugged package using the spiral filament and robust plate structure resulting in low microphonics and high reliability. The long plate version of this tube differs from the standard version with its stronger and fuller sound which offers a wider and more balanced frequency response. This tube ranges from deep rich lows to pristine highs covering a spectrum of harmonically dynamic mids along the way. This tube is an excellent choice for any guitar amp and perfect for studio and Hi-Fi equipment as well. This tube will work in any 12AX7 or ECC83 position.

When I first put this in my build, it came out very microphonic but after ten minutes it started to sound very good, nice tone! Rich and thick.
Overall this seems like a great tube. Not as dark sounding as the JJ ECC83 but still very smooth sounding. Works great in V1 position on my pignose G40V. Only 4 stars because it produces a loud thump when used in V4 on a princeton reverb with the tremolo engaged. I tried 2 different ECC803's with the same result and did not have this issue with the standard JJ ECC83 or Sovtek 12ax7WA. Because of this I have to conclude that the noise has to do with the tube design and not the amp.

Great sounding tube from a reliable electronics manufacturer. Does well in v1 and pi or really any position.
Perfect pre-amp tubes strongly recommended
This is an all around great tube by JJ. I use it in v2 also great in the phase inverter position. It's also very quiet for as large as the plates are and adds improved gain in preamp gain stages.
Very round Warren Haynes tone. No need for NOS with these tubes available.
Tube is great! The difference is unreal. I will be buying more of these.
If you have a bright and clean amp that is lacking in overtones.
This tube will liquify your tones and add depth.
Adds punch, warmth and sweetens shrill highs.
Makes reissue blackface amps sound more vintage in a wonderful way.
Love these - perfect for keeping the gain under control with a slightly softer voice
