Vacuum Tube - KT77, JJ Electronics
The JJ Electronic KT77 is a reproduction of the original tubes that captures the sound that made the KT77 famous. In their typical fashion, JJ has built this tube in a solid construction that is robust and highly reliable. This tube has more headroom than a typical EL34. The low end is fat and defines with detailed and responsive mids and smooth highs. This is an excellent tube for adding more power to the sound of an EL34 amp.
Matched versions of this tube use Apex Matching
RoHS Compliant

Product Reviews
I recently purchased a matched pair of JJ kt77 Power tubes from antique electronics supply. The tubes were matched to the Apex system and I even got a personal phone call from them explaining to me that the numbers I sent in to match have now been updated into the new system come up and asked me if the relevant number would be acceptable. The technician explained that there were a couple options and one of them would have been more desirable than my original order so together we made a decision to change to a different matching number according to the Apex updated system. He also mentioned that after I got the tubes and try them if I wasn't happy that I could send them back for a replacement. When the tubes arrived I immediately installed them into an old Traynor yba1a guitar amplifier that I've been restoring and they sounded magnificent! I will now be ordering a second set!
Tubes arrived quickly, were as ordered and perform as expected.
Excellent sounding tubes. Great bottom end response.
I was a little skeptical about the difference from switching from el34s to kt77 and the tones I would get. After installation I was blown away! It was way beyond my expectations. Very saturated tone with a better low end. I couldn't be happier!
I put these in an Egnater renegade amp instead of the EL34"s and re-biased. Very clean with some upper end "jingle" that I did not have with the other tubes. Slightly more gain than the 6L6's and a little brighter. The tube matching with the new Apex system was dead on. Thanks again!!wb
