Groove Tubes GT-ECC83-S Gold Select Preamp Tube
A tube made for modern amps
The ECC83S is a high gain version of the 12AX7 tube. The S stands for "special" (sometimes seen as STR for "special tube request"). This is the highest gain tube made by Groove Tubes, and is perfect for modern, high-gain amps. It has a huge amount of gain and the output is ideal for complex, high-gain amp circuits. The sound is tight and bright, and works well in modern or vintage amps that need a bit of a kick.
From Fender: "Quite simply the best 9-pin triode preamp tubes you can buy—specifically designed and tested for musical instrument amplification and standard equipment on Fender amps. Outstanding and consistent performance for mixing and matching to get a signature tone from your amp."
