Note: Because this tube has a long plate structure it is susceptible to excessive microphonics and is therefore not recommended for use in combo amps or high gain stages. For these amps the JJ ECC83-S is a better choice.

This is the magic one
by Billy
I have a Twin with JBL's and I wanted more overtones and sweetness.
This tube gave me all and more.
Then I put one in the reverb circuit and WOW.
I finally got the tone I've wanted for the last ten years!!!!!
A really good current production pre amp tube
by Andrew
I'm currently using this tube as a phase inverter on a Leak Stereo 50 HiFi amp, and the JJ is a great sounding tube. No complaints at all, and it stacks up very well compared to a Philips 7025 USA made tube when tested in the same position. And for under $15, it's worth giving a try.
Great Pre-amp tube in overdrive slot
by Christian
I'm using this pre-amp tube in my V2 slot (Over Drive) of my Peavey Classic 50 Head. I'm getting the warmest fullest tone that cuts out most of the high's and brings in the bass and mids without being saturated and muddy. This Tube works wonders!
Ecc803s

I put this tube in my Real Tube pedal and it worked wonders. It took all the shrill sound and lots of white noise away. Best in front of a clean channel.
Nice preamp tube for hi-fi
by Musicman419
Nice current production 12AX7 variant. Nice smooth midrange and solid bass reproduction. At first I thought the highs were a bit soft, but either my ears have adjusted, or they needed a few hours to settle in because the highs are sounding very sweet to me now. Very good dimensionality and soundstaging. I feel these are a bargain at their price for use in high end hi-fi systems. Very happy indeed.
