A custom version of the JJ 6V6-S with a double top mica for increased stability. The double mica improves support for the tube structure and reduces mechanical vibrations in its components. These double mica 6V6 tubes are a great option for combo amps and any amplifiers exposed to speaker vibrations. The JJ Electronic 6V6S is another modern classic from JJ. This 6V6 has the standard rugged construction we’ve come to expect from JJ which allows it to handle much higher plate voltages than the typical 6V6 tube. The JJ 6V6 can even be used in place of a 6L6 in some amplifiers. Overall this tube has a warm and balanced tone with incredible separation and response. The highs come in clean and smooth with a lot of clarity. The mids are full and distinctive. The lows are fat and punchy. These tubes can cover a spectrum of sounds and styles all within the same amplifier.

The new Tube Amp Doctor premium selected 12AX7 /ECC83-WA is a low-noise and low microphonic version of the 12AX7. The ECC83-WA Premium Selected has a balanced tone with a notable emphasis of the mids. The overall linear sound offers great string attack and chord separation. The low end is well defined. The result is a tone that works well in both modern amps but also vintage guitar amplifiers. If the ECC83-WA is used in hi-fi audio amplifiers, the tube adds a musical clarity and presence to the signal. The new TAD™ ECC83-WA is a miniature, high-mu twin triode, selected and recommended for guitar amps to improve overall responsiveness and dynamics. Great for guitar clean tones with a distinct pick attack and pronounced upper mids to cut through every mix. Crunchy tones still feature a very good string separation which is also ideal for fully saturated sounds and modern amplifiers with a tight bass response.
