Product Rating Product Review Really brought my rig back to life. Replaced the stock Groove Tubes in my Blues Junior with these and the difference is incredible. Didn’t realize how dull the original tubes were until these were in. Highly recommend. Great sound at a great price.

Product Review I bought two of these Svetlana 12AX7 's from AMS to get an old Art Tube Preamp back up & running..also for a Behringer tube preamp that was giving me problems..They Did the Trick! The Price was reasonable as well! I'd buy them again

More musical than Mullard, Smoother than Tung-Sol

Product Review This is a really nice 12AX7! I usually put Tung-Sols in V1 but now I will also include the Svetlana in the V1 rotation, which is the ultimate pre-amp tube compliment. The Tung-Sol is still more articulate and 3D but the Svetlana is smoother. For you Marshall fans, next time you are"tube rolling", for your 12AX7's try a Svetlana in V1, JJ-MG in V2, and Sovtek-LPS in V3-PI positions. Smooths out the highs, enhances the midranges and bass will be tight, (mileage may vary depending on your amp).

Product Review These were sent to me on-the-house by the AMS team after I received an amp with a couple faulty tubes. Quick replacement and the amp sings (or screams) again. Very tight, responsive, and some nice grit on top when you push it past halfway. Excellent product and great customer service as always.

Product Review bought three of these a month ago and swapped the 12ax7 groove tubes in my hot rod deluxe and was blown away with how they took the heavy bass out of the tone....loved them so much i ordered three more for my blues deluxe hoping for similar results

Product Review Compared to the JJECC83S, there was a noticeable punch in the mid-high frequency range in my Boogie Mk iii in V1. These are more lively. I also prefer these to the current production Mullard which had a boost in the mid range which in a Mk series boogie sounds more honky.2 of 4 tubes had a slight humming buzz sound in V1. Not bad considering normally you pay extra for quiet tubes at other places and I lucked out with 2 quiet ones. However, I wish AMS would add this option along with matched triodes for the PI position.

great improvement over stock tubes in a vox ac15c1

Product Review these tubes sound great. there is a wonderful clarity and it really gives my amp that vox chime. It is easy to say my amp sounds better than when I first got it, since the stock tubes are okay at best. you don't hear the difference till you replace them. even with these, which aren't expensive. they sound great. I also put in some groove tubes, the el84 for my power amp tubes, and the switch is great. was losing volume big time, now my amp sounds like it is trying to burst out again, lol. I use the vox with a peavey yvpyr 100 watt for stereo and have gotten very use to the huge ambient sound I love. for the price it is a must if you are still using your stock vox ac15 tubes, those are pretty blah. you think your guitar sounds good, but it will sound much better with any upgrade. the clean is great and it has a nice break up, with my overdrive and distortion pedals it sounds awesome.

Good tube

Product Review I like this tube a lot. It doesn't stand out with a particular trait, like too grainy, too much gain, not enough gain, too much highs or lows, and that's what I like, that it doesn't color the sound. Even sounding.

Product Review I put one of these in my Bugera V22 yesterday and I have to say that I am pretty impressed with the sound. This is a cheaper 12AX7 but it sounds substantially better to me than more expensive Groove Tubes.
