    Mullard 12AX7 Preamp Vacuum Tube, Single

    • Think strong, clean tones, not high gain.
    • Given this excellent performance in my High Fidelity system, I would agree; these tubes contribute no discernable distortion which would make them undesirable in a most guitar amplifiers, but it makes them AWESOME in a home stereo!My choice of the Mullards for the 12AX7 and the 12AU7 tubes was based on similar research where the Mullards were being criticized as too clean for guitar amp service but praising the small Tung-Sol tubes for a sweet guitar amp tone
    • This tube boosted the midrange and "warmed" up the tone a bit too much.
    • It had good tone and power
    • Great tone... strong and clear... used in a custom 5e3
    • There was no static, and a nice balanced tone.
    • and it was very easy to adjust the tone and gain to find a sweet spot at a lower volume than I was accustomed to.
    • It had bad trebly tone and not much power
    • I use it in an overdrive pedal for a warmer tone
