Genelex Gold Lion 12AX7.. creamy like grammas peanut butta sammich, just as sticky..
the tube was used in a Digitech Valve FX unit, I wanted a tighter more compact overdrive and that's just what i got, I also picked up some good usable volume.. I am not sure if I should have gotten an A series with the heater or not?
I did pick up some clarity as well, maybe a little more brightness?
its a good tube so far so good, this valveFX unit uses only 1 tube, my other Digitechs like the 2112 and the 2101 use 2 and my guess there would be MASSIVE improvements across the board in those..
people have to know that your different tubes lend to different characteristics and just because a JJ or whatever will last a certain amount of time doesn't mean its the BEST tone wise, its so much larger in tube amps, your headroom, the tightness of your compression and OD, the speed..
some tubes deliver so slow cuz they are basically of inferior design and materials.. seriously, I just do not understand people bragging when they try to sell their tubes amps "oh I just put all new of the cheapest tubes on the market and they are balanced" PHOOEE!!!
also, ALL presets got quieter, meaning the unwanted noises vanished!
TRY some better tubes and I mean the GOOD tubes not names the industry tosses around cuz they are cheap and they make big money off em, try some these hi end Genelex, Telefunkin, so forth, see what happens..
I personally guarantee you they will change your world if you are a serious player and have a relatively decent tube amps, even the shoddiest of amps can a good tube transpose into a fine amp, maybe some filter caps and its ON like donkey kong!
try these tubes, you WILL NOT be disappointed.. industry lore proves they have lasting power in the worst of conditions being pushed weekend after weekend..
read up on the data sheets of your various tubes, this IS a quantifiable facet, they can tell you which tubes will lend more headroom, blistering cleans so on and so forth, quietness..
the worlds players need to do something about this travesty they call good music in the popular genres, its pathetic shenanigan under thought and embarrassing as a human to call this good music!! we as musicians have a duty even if its just waking the neighbors up with a creamier, warmer, crunchier tone!
get your self a full chassis full of Genelx Gold Lions and change the world!Read full review
