Sovtek 5751
Special note for 5751 types: The 5751 is not a true 12AX7, but is often used in place of a 12AX7. They only have 70% of the gain of a 12AX7, and are often used to quiet down guitar amps that have too much gain. You can learn more about this on our tone tweak info page.
One other note about the construction of these tubes is they have filaments that are almost completely encased in the plate structure. They don't "light up" brightly when working properly.

Great replacement for Phase Inverters
by Sasha Szlafarski
Swapped this out for an EH 12AX7 that was being used as the phase inverter for a Vox AC15CC1X. The results were a fair amount of noise reduction and a slightly more sensitive output section.
While I've never favoured Sovtek tubes in the past, this one came highly recommended for both it's fairly neutral tone and more importantly, it's durability. I wanted to make sure it would be able to handle plenty of regular use.
