EH 12AX7 / ECC83

4 tubes, matched as quad

EL34 II has fuller low mids and low end but does not lose headroom in the high end. Stronger than regular JJ EL34 but not as aggressive as the JJ E34L.

Tube-Town E83CC Preamp-Tube

High-quality 12AX7 / ECC83 / 7025 preamp tube with low background noise and reduced feedback tendency due to short anode plates, as well as a powerful bass and a dense sound. Very suitable for input stages with high amplification or amplifiers with generally high gain.
Dropin replacement for all 12AX7, ECC83, 7025, and E83CC tubes.

• Amplification factor (μ): 100
• Transconductance (S): 1.6mA/V
• Input capacitance (Cin): 1.6pF
• Output capacitance (Cout): 1.6pF

Mechanical Characteristics

• Socket: B9A (Noval)
• Number of pins: 9

Pin Configuration

• 1 Anode (Triode 1)
• 2 Grid (Triode 1)

Application Notes

• Heater operation: The tube can be operated with 6.3V or 12.6V, depending on the circuit design.
• Grid resistors: It is recommended to use grid resistors of at least 1MΩ to ensure stable functionality.
• Coupling capacitors: Capacitors with low capacitance (typically 0.1µF) are recommended to minimize high-frequency interference.

TT Selection: Balanced
Balanced gain on both systems

Very linear working 12AX7 / ECC83 with long anode plates and spiral heating, which makes the tube less sensitive to interference from AC heating.
We recommend this tube for audio and high-end amps as well as for "modern" Fender amps with more overdrive, but also as an input tube in old Marshall JCM800s.

Note: Tubes equipped with long plates are commonly associated with a "warmer" or "richer" sound, whereas those with shorter plates tend to deliver a "tighter sound". However, tubes featuring long plates exhibit increased sensitivity to vibrations and mechanical disturbances, rendering them less ideal for critical applications.

Mullard reincarnated. With the new EL34EH, Marshall amp owners can recreate the balanced tone, deep, tight bass, sweet mids, and well-defined highs of the original equipment Mullards. Innovative design and precision construction give the EL34EH exceptionally smooth and an ideal balance of pleasing even-order harmonics while virtually eliminating undesirable odd-order harmonics.

FAQ: If I order two or more of these tubes, are they all "matched"?
Yes, the tubes are all "matched" and selected for the above amplifiers.

FAQ: Can I change the tubes myself or does anything need to be adjusted?
Adjustment work is not possible on the above amplifiers (unless a bias adjustment has been retrofitted). The exchange can therefore be done without any adjustment or measurement work.
