Great Tone

I've recently purchased a used Crate v32 palomino. Someone had replaced one of the 12ax7's with a 12au7. So I decided to replace all 3 with new 12ax7's. I asked the guitar center employee about the in stock tubes and they recommended these particular tubes for my amp. I'll tell you I'm very pleased. I play a mexican Strat with David Guilmore Emgs in it, and it sounds phenomenal. I've gotten several compliments from my band mates on the tone of my amp.

    I used this tube in the V1 spot of my Fender Blues J.R. tweed amp, and it creates a whole new sound than the JJ it replaced and yes I have JJ's in the two other preamp which makes it sing with brighter highs and softer lows and brings out a decent mid range sound, I especially like the tone you get with a Seymour Duncan SH-1 in the bridge , give it a try, defiantly worth it. #sweepstakes #duaneallman

    Replaced the jj preamp tubes with these mullards in my fender hot rod deluxe iv amp. Cleaned the sharpness out of my highs.. Just slightly mellower tones which I enjoy. I was told years ago that mullards take away from the fender sound,so put off trying them. Happy to say I was told wrong.

    I had been using 5881 tubes for a while to emphasize cleans. However, this was limiting my amp. I popped a couple of these babies in there and viola, what a difference!

    I wanted to try this tube in the preamp of several amplifiers, new and vintage. This tube performs well and sounds very good. It holds its own impressively compared to NOS GE, RCA and Jan Phillips ones I have.
